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
