NAME

       zipinfo - list detailed information about a ZIP archive

SYNOPSIS

       zipinfo [-12smlvhMtTz] file[.zip] [file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...]

       unzip -Z [-12smlvhMtTz] file[.zip] [file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...]

DESCRIPTION

       zipinfo  lists  technical information about files in a ZIP archive, most commonly found on
       MS-DOS systems.  Such information includes file  access  permissions,  encryption  status,
       type  of  compression, version and operating system or file system of compressing program,
       and the like.  The default behavior (with no options) is to list single-line  entries  for
       each  file in the archive, with header and trailer lines providing summary information for
       the entire archive.  The format is a cross between Unix ``ls -l'' and ``unzip -v'' output.
       See  DETAILED  DESCRIPTION  below.   Note that zipinfo is the same program as unzip (under
       Unix, a link to it); on some systems, however, zipinfo support may have been omitted  when
       unzip was compiled.

ARGUMENTS

       file[.zip]
              Path of the ZIP archive(s).  If the file specification is a wildcard, each matching
              file is processed in an order determined by the operating system (or file  system).
              Only  the filename can be a wildcard; the path itself cannot.  Wildcard expressions
              are similar to Unix egrep(1) (regular) expressions and may contain:

              *      matches a sequence of 0 or more characters

              ?      matches exactly 1 character

              [...]  matches any single character found inside the brackets; ranges are specified
                     by  a  beginning  character,  a  hyphen,  and  an  ending  character.  If an
                     exclamation point or a caret (`!' or `^') follows the left bracket, then the
                     range  of  characters within the brackets is complemented (that is, anything
                     except the characters inside  the  brackets  is  considered  a  match).   To
                     specify a verbatim left bracket, the three-character sequence ``[[]'' has to
                     be used.

              (Be sure to quote any character that might otherwise be interpreted or modified  by
              the  operating  system, particularly under Unix and VMS.)  If no matches are found,
              the specification is assumed to be a literal filename; and if that also fails,  the
              suffix  .zip  is  appended.   Note that self-extracting ZIP files are supported, as
              with any other ZIP archive; just specify the .exe suffix (if any) explicitly.

       [file(s)]
              An optional list of archive members to be processed,  separated  by  spaces.   (VMS
              versions  compiled  with  VMSCLI  defined  must delimit files with commas instead.)
              Regular expressions (wildcards) may be used to match multiple members;  see  above.
              Again, be sure to quote expressions that would otherwise be expanded or modified by
              the operating system.

       [-x xfile(s)]
              An optional list of archive members to be excluded from processing.

OPTIONS

       -1     list filenames only, one per line.   This  option  excludes  all  others;  headers,
              trailers  and  zipfile  comments are never printed.  It is intended for use in Unix
              shell scripts.

       -2     list filenames only, one per line,  but  allow  headers  (-h),  trailers  (-t)  and
              zipfile  comments  (-z),  as  well.   This  option may be useful in cases where the
              stored filenames are particularly long.

       -s     list zipfile info in short Unix ``ls -l'' format.  This is  the  default  behavior;
              see below.

       -m     list  zipfile  info  in  medium Unix ``ls -l'' format.  Identical to the -s output,
              except that the compression factor, expressed as a percentage, is also listed.

       -l     list zipfile info in long Unix ``ls -l''  format.   As  with  -m  except  that  the
              compressed size (in bytes) is printed instead of the compression ratio.

       -v     list zipfile information in verbose, multi-page format.

       -h     list  header  line.   The  archive name, actual size (in bytes) and total number of
              files is printed.

       -M     pipe all output through an internal pager similar to the Unix more(1) command.   At
              the  end  of  a screenful of output, zipinfo pauses with a ``--More--'' prompt; the
              next screenful may be viewed by pressing the Enter (Return) key or the  space  bar.
              zipinfo  can  be  terminated  by  pressing  the ``q'' key and, on some systems, the
              Enter/Return key.  Unlike Unix more(1), there is no  forward-searching  or  editing
              capability.   Also,  zipinfo  doesn't  notice if long lines wrap at the edge of the
              screen, effectively resulting in  the  printing  of  two  or  more  lines  and  the
              likelihood  that  some  text  will  scroll  off  the top of the screen before being
              viewed.  On some systems the number  of  available  lines  on  the  screen  is  not
              detected, in which case zipinfo assumes the height is 24 lines.

       -t     list  totals  for files listed or for all files.  The number of files listed, their
              uncompressed and compressed total sizes , and their overall compression  factor  is
              printed;  or,  if  only the totals line is being printed, the values for the entire
              archive are given.  The compressed total size does not include  the  12  additional
              header  bytes  of  each encrypted entry. Note that the total compressed (data) size
              will never match the actual zipfile size, since the  latter  includes  all  of  the
              internal zipfile headers in addition to the compressed data.

       -T     print  the  file dates and times in a sortable decimal format (yymmdd.hhmmss).  The
              default date format is a more standard,  human-readable  version  with  abbreviated
              month names (see examples below).

       -U     [UNICODE_SUPPORT  only]  modify or disable UTF-8 handling.  When UNICODE_SUPPORT is
              available, the option -U forces unzip to escape all non-ASCII characters from UTF-8
              coded  filenames  as  ``#Uxxxx''.   This  option  is  mainly provided for debugging
              purpose when the fairly new UTF-8 support  is  suspected  to  mangle  up  extracted
              filenames.

              The  option  -UU  allows  to  entirely  disable  the  recognition  of UTF-8 encoded
              filenames.  The handling of  filename  codings  within  unzip  falls  back  to  the
              behaviour of previous versions.

       -z     include the archive comment (if any) in the listing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

       zipinfo  has  a number of modes, and its behavior can be rather difficult to fathom if one
       isn't familiar with Unix ls(1) (or even if one is).  The default behavior is to list files
       in the following format:

  -rw-rws---  1.9 unx    2802 t- defX 11-Aug-91 13:48 perms.2660

       The  last  three fields are the modification date and time of the file, and its name.  The
       case of the filename is respected; thus files that  come  from  MS-DOS  PKZIP  are  always
       capitalized.   If the file was zipped with a stored directory name, that is also displayed
       as part of the filename.

       The second and third fields indicate that the file was zipped under Unix with version  1.9
       of  zip.   Since it comes from Unix, the file permissions at the beginning of the line are
       printed in Unix format.  The uncompressed file-size (2802 in this example) is  the  fourth
       field.

       The  fifth  field  consists of two characters, either of which may take on several values.
       The first character may be either `t' or `b', indicating that zip believes the file to  be
       text  or  binary,  respectively;  but if the file is encrypted, zipinfo notes this fact by
       capitalizing the character (`T' or `B').  The second  character  may  also  take  on  four
       values,  depending  on whether there is an extended local header and/or an ``extra field''
       associated with the file (fully explained in PKWare's APPNOTE.TXT, but basically analogous
       to  pragmas  in  ANSI  C--i.e.,  they  provide  a  standard  way  to  include non-standard
       information in the archive).  If neither exists, the character will be a hyphen (`-');  if
       there  is  an  extended  local header but no extra field, `l'; if the reverse, `x'; and if
       both exist, `X'.  Thus the file in  this  example  is  (probably)  a  text  file,  is  not
       encrypted, and has neither an extra field nor an extended local header associated with it.
       The example below, on the other hand, is an encrypted binary file with an extra field:

  RWD,R,R     0.9 vms     168 Bx shrk  9-Aug-91 19:15 perms.0644

       Extra fields are used for various  purposes  (see  discussion  of  the  -v  option  below)
       including  the  storage  of  VMS file attributes, which is presumably the case here.  Note
       that the file attributes are listed in VMS format.  Some other possibilities for the  host
       operating  system (which is actually a misnomer--host file system is more correct) include
       OS/2 or NT with High Performance  File  System  (HPFS),  MS-DOS,  OS/2  or  NT  with  File
       Allocation Table (FAT) file system, and Macintosh.  These are denoted as follows:

  -rw-a--     1.0 hpf    5358 Tl i4:3  4-Dec-91 11:33 longfilename.hpfs
  -r--ahs     1.1 fat    4096 b- i4:2 14-Jul-91 12:58 EA DATA. SF
  --w-------  1.0 mac   17357 bx i8:2  4-May-92 04:02 unzip.macr

       File  attributes  in  the  first  two cases are indicated in a Unix-like format, where the
       seven subfields indicate whether the file:  (1) is a directory, (2)  is  readable  (always
       true),  (3)  is  writable, (4) is executable (guessed on the basis of the extension--.exe,
       .com, .bat, .cmd and .btm files are assumed to be so), (5) has its archive bit set, (6) is
       hidden,  and  (7)  is  a  system  file.   Interpretation  of  Macintosh file attributes is
       unreliable because some Macintosh archivers don't store any attributes in the archive.

       Finally, the sixth field indicates the compression method and  possible  sub-method  used.
       There  are  six  methods known at present:  storing (no compression), reducing, shrinking,
       imploding, tokenizing (never publicly released), and deflating.  In  addition,  there  are
       four  levels  of  reducing  (1  through  4);  four  types  of  imploding (4K or 8K sliding
       dictionary, and 2 or 3 Shannon-Fano trees); and four levels of deflating (superfast, fast,
       normal,  maximum  compression).  zipinfo represents these methods and their sub-methods as
       follows:  stor; re:1, re:2, etc.; shrk; i4:2, i8:3, etc.; tokn; and defS, defF, defN,  and
       defX.

       The medium and long listings are almost identical to the short format except that they add
       information on the file's compression.  The medium format  lists  the  file's  compression
       factor as a percentage indicating the amount of space that has been ``removed'':

  -rw-rws---  1.5 unx    2802 t- 81% defX 11-Aug-91 13:48 perms.2660

       In  this  example,  the  file  has  been  compressed  by  more  than a factor of five; the
       compressed data are only 19% of the original size.  The long format gives  the  compressed
       file's size in bytes, instead:

  -rw-rws---  1.5 unx    2802 t-     538 defX 11-Aug-91 13:48 perms.2660

       In  contrast  to  the  unzip  listings, the compressed size figures in this listing format
       denote the complete size of compressed data, including the 12 extra header bytes  in  case
       of encrypted entries.

       Adding the -T option changes the file date and time to decimal format:

  -rw-rws---  1.5 unx    2802 t-     538 defX 910811.134804 perms.2660

       Note  that  because  of  limitations  in  the  MS-DOS format used to store file times, the
       seconds field is always rounded to the nearest  even  second.   For  Unix  files  this  is
       expected to change in the next major releases of zip(1) and unzip.

       In addition to individual file information, a default zipfile listing also includes header
       and trailer lines:

  Archive:  OS2.zip   5453 bytes   5 files
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf     730 b- i4:3 26-Jun-92 23:40 Contents
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf    3710 b- i4:3 26-Jun-92 23:33 makefile.os2
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf    8753 b- i8:3 26-Jun-92 15:29 os2unzip.c
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf      98 b- stor 21-Aug-91 15:34 unzip.def
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf      95 b- stor 21-Aug-91 17:51 zipinfo.def
  5 files, 13386 bytes uncompressed, 4951 bytes compressed:  63.0%

       The header line gives the name of the archive, its total size, and  the  total  number  of
       files;  the  trailer  gives the number of files listed, their total uncompressed size, and
       their total compressed size (not including any of zip's internal overhead).  If,  however,
       one  or  more  file(s)  are  provided,  the header and trailer lines are not listed.  This
       behavior is also similar to that of Unix's ``ls -l''; it may be overridden  by  specifying
       the  -h  and  -t  options  explicitly.   In  such  a  case the listing format must also be
       specified explicitly, since -h or -t (or both) in the absence  of  other  options  implies
       that  ONLY the header or trailer line (or both) is listed.  See the EXAMPLES section below
       for a semi-intelligible translation of this nonsense.

       The verbose listing is mostly self-explanatory.  It  also  lists  file  comments  and  the
       zipfile  comment,  if  any,  and  the type and number of bytes in any stored extra fields.
       Currently known types of extra fields include PKWARE's authentication (``AV'') info;  OS/2
       extended  attributes;  VMS  filesystem  info, both PKWARE and Info-ZIP versions; Macintosh
       resource forks; Acorn/Archimedes SparkFS info; and so on.  (Note that in the case of  OS/2
       extended  attributes--perhaps the most common use of zipfile extra fields--the size of the
       stored EAs as reported by zipinfo may not match the number given by  OS/2's  dir  command:
       OS/2  always reports the number of bytes required in 16-bit format, whereas zipinfo always
       reports the 32-bit storage.)

       Again, the compressed size figures of the individual entries include the 12  extra  header
       bytes  for  encrypted  entries.   In  contrast,  the archive total compressed size and the
       average compression ratio shown in the summary bottom  line  are  calculated  without  the
       extra 12 header bytes of encrypted entries.

ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS

       Modifying  zipinfo's default behavior via options placed in an environment variable can be
       a bit complicated to explain, due to zipinfo's attempts to handle various defaults  in  an
       intuitive,  yet  Unix-like,  manner.   (Try  not  to  laugh.)  Nevertheless, there is some
       underlying logic.  In brief, there are three ``priority levels'' of options:  the  default
       options;  environment  options,  which  can  override or add to the defaults; and explicit
       options given by the user, which can override or add to either of the above.

       The default listing format, as noted above, corresponds  roughly  to  the  "zipinfo  -hst"
       command  (except  when  individual zipfile members are specified).  A user who prefers the
       long-listing format (-l) can make use of the zipinfo's environment variable to change this
       default:

       Unix Bourne shell:
              ZIPINFO=-l; export ZIPINFO

       Unix C shell:
              setenv ZIPINFO -l

       OS/2 or MS-DOS:
              set ZIPINFO=-l

       VMS (quotes for lowercase):
              define ZIPINFO_OPTS "-l"

       If,  in  addition,  the  user  dislikes  the trailer line, zipinfo's concept of ``negative
       options'' may be used to override the default inclusion of the line.  This is accomplished
       by  preceding  the undesired option with one or more minuses:  e.g., ``-l-t'' or ``--tl'',
       in this example.  The first hyphen is the regular switch character, but the one before the
       `t'  is  a  minus  sign.   The  dual  use  of  hyphens may seem a little awkward, but it's
       reasonably intuitive nonetheless:  simply ignore the first hyphen and go from  there.   It
       is also consistent with the behavior of the Unix command nice(1).

       As  suggested above, the default variable names are ZIPINFO_OPTS for VMS (where the symbol
       used to install zipinfo as  a  foreign  command  would  otherwise  be  confused  with  the
       environment  variable),  and  ZIPINFO  for all other operating systems.  For compatibility
       with zip(1), ZIPINFOOPT is also accepted (don't ask).  If both ZIPINFO and ZIPINFOOPT  are
       defined, however, ZIPINFO takes precedence.  unzip's diagnostic option (-v with no zipfile
       name) can be used to check the values of all four possible unzip and  zipinfo  environment
       variables.

EXAMPLES

       To  get  a  basic,  short-format  listing  of  the  complete  contents  of  a  ZIP archive
       storage.zip, with both header and totals lines, use only the archive name as  an  argument
       to zipinfo:

       zipinfo storage

       To  produce a basic, long-format listing (not verbose), including header and totals lines,
       use -l:

       zipinfo -l storage

       To list the complete contents of the archive  without  header  and  totals  lines,  either
       negate the -h and -t options or else specify the contents explicitly:

       zipinfo --h-t storage
       zipinfo storage \*

       (where  the  backslash  is  required  only  if  the  shell  would otherwise expand the `*'
       wildcard, as in Unix when globbing is turned on--double quotes around the  asterisk  would
       have  worked  as  well).   To  turn  off  the  totals line by default, use the environment
       variable (C shell is assumed here):

       setenv ZIPINFO --t
       zipinfo storage

       To get the full,  short-format  listing  of  the  first  example  again,  given  that  the
       environment  variable is set as in the previous example, it is necessary to specify the -s
       option explicitly, since the -t option by itself implies that ONLY the footer line  is  to
       be printed:

       setenv ZIPINFO --t
       zipinfo -t storage            [only totals line]
       zipinfo -st storage           [full listing]

       The  -s  option, like -m and -l, includes headers and footers by default, unless otherwise
       specified.  Since the environment variable specified no footers  and  that  has  a  higher
       precedence than the default behavior of -s, an explicit -t option was necessary to produce
       the full listing.  Nothing was indicated about the header, however, so the -s  option  was
       sufficient.   Note  that  both the -h and -t options, when used by themselves or with each
       other, override any default listing of member files; only the  header  and/or  footer  are
       printed.   This  behavior  is  useful  when  zipinfo  is  used  with  a  wildcard  zipfile
       specification; the contents of all zipfiles are then summarized with a single command.

       To list information on a single file within the archive, in  medium  format,  specify  the
       filename explicitly:

       zipinfo -m storage unshrink.c

       The specification of any member file, as in this example, will override the default header
       and totals lines; only the single line of information about the  requested  file  will  be
       printed.   This  is  intuitively what one would expect when requesting information about a
       single file.  For multiple files, it is often useful to  know  the  total  compressed  and
       uncompressed size; in such cases -t may be specified explicitly:

       zipinfo -mt storage "*.[ch]" Mak\*

       To  get  maximal information about the ZIP archive, use the verbose option.  It is usually
       wise to pipe the output into a filter such as Unix more(1) if the operating system  allows
       it:

       zipinfo -v storage | more

       Finally,  to  see  the  most  recently modified files in the archive, use the -T option in
       conjunction with an external sorting utility such as Unix sort(1) (and sed(1) as well,  in
       this example):

       zipinfo -T storage | sort -nr -k 7 | sed 15q

       The  -nr  option  to  sort(1) tells it to sort numerically in reverse order rather than in
       textual order, and the -k 7 option tells it to sort on the seventh  field.   This  assumes
       the  default short-listing format; if -m or -l is used, the proper sort(1) option would be
       -k 8.  Older versions of sort(1) do not support  the  -k  option,  but  you  can  use  the
       traditional  +  option  instead, e.g., +6 instead of -k 7.  The sed(1) command filters out
       all but the first 15 lines of the listing.  Future releases  of  zipinfo  may  incorporate
       date/time and filename sorting as built-in options.

TIPS

       The  author  finds  it  convenient to define an alias ii for zipinfo on systems that allow
       aliases (or, on other systems, copy/rename the executable,  create  a  link  or  create  a
       command  file  with  the  name  ii).   The ii usage parallels the common ll alias for long
       listings in Unix, and  the  similarity  between  the  outputs  of  the  two  commands  was
       intentional.

BUGS

       As  with  unzip,  zipinfo's  -M  (``more'') option is overly simplistic in its handling of
       screen output; as noted above, it fails to detect the  wrapping  of  long  lines  and  may
       thereby  cause  lines  at  the  top  of  the  screen to be scrolled off before being read.
       zipinfo should detect and treat each  occurrence  of  line-wrap  as  one  additional  line
       printed.   This  requires  knowledge  of  the  screen's  width  as well as its height.  In
       addition, zipinfo should detect the true screen geometry on all systems.

       zipinfo's listing-format behavior is  unnecessarily  complex  and  should  be  simplified.
       (This is not to say that it will be.)
