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 that all known implementations on large archives with many files.

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.

FILES

       /var/log/user.log
              see this file in case any errors occur

SEE ALSO
