     Supported options:

     -c           Check zip archive consistency when opening it.

     -e           Error if archive already exists (only useful with -n).

     -g           Guess file name encoding (for stat command).

     -h           Display help.

     -l length    Only read length bytes of archive.  See also -o.

     -n           Create archive if it doesn't exist.  See also -e.

     -o offset    Start reading input archive from offset.  See also -l.

     -t           Disregard current file contents, if any.  Note: use this with care, it deletes
                  all existing file contents when you modify the archive.
