NAME

       minizip - create ZIP archives

SYNOPSIS

       minizip [-o] zipfile [ " files" ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       minizip  is a simple tool which allows the creation of compressed file archives in the ZIP
       format used by the MS-DOS utility PKZIP.  It was written as a demonstration of the zlib(3)
       library and therefore lack many of the features of the zip(1) program.

OPTIONS

       The  first  argument supplied is the name of the ZIP archive to create or -o in which case
       it is ignored and the second argument treated as the name of the ZIP  file.   If  the  ZIP
       file already exists it will be overwritten.

       Subsequent  arguments  specify  a  list of files to place in the ZIP archive.  If none are
       specified then an empty archive will be created.

       miniunzip(1), zlib(3), zip(1).
