DESCRIPTION

       fuse-zip is a FUSE filesystem, that enables any program to work  with  a  ZIP  archive  as
       though  it  is  a  plain  directory.   Unlike  KIO  or  Gnome  VFS,  it can be used in any
       application without modifications.

       Unlike other FUSE filesystems, only fuse-zip  provides  write  support  to  ZIP  archives.
       Also, fuse-zip is faster than all known implementations on large archives with many files.

       Since  version  0.3.0  fuse-zip has support for absolute and parent-relative paths in file
       names, but only in read-only mode (-r command line switch). Absolute paths  are  displayed
       under "ROOT" directory, every ".." in path replaced by "UP" in directory name and "normal"
       files are placed under "CUR" directory.

       Support for UNIX file permissions and owner information has been added in  version  0.4.0.
       See PERMISSIONS for details.

       Since  version  0.5.0 fuse-zip forces open in read-only mode if archive file or its parent
       directory is not writable.

USAGE

       General usage would look like this

       1   mkdir /tmp/zipArchive
       2   fuse-zip foobar.zip /tmp/zipArchive
       3   (do something with the mounted file system)
       4   fusermount -u /tmp/zipArchive

       Be patient. Wait for fuse-zip  process  finish  after  unmounting,  especially  on  a  big
       archives.

PERMISSIONS

       Access check will not be performed unless -o default_permissions mount option is given.

FILES

       /var/log/user.log
