See DESCRIPTION for details. +.PD +.\" ========================================================================= +.SH DESCRIPTION +.I funzip +without a file argument acts as a filter; that is, it assumes that a +ZIP archive (or a \fIgzip\fP'd(1) file) is being piped into +standard input, and it extracts the first member from the archive to stdout. +When stdin comes from a tty device, +.I funzip +assumes that this cannot be a stream of (binary) compressed data and +shows a short help text, instead. +If there is a file argument, then input is read from the specified file +instead of from stdin. +.PP +A password for encrypted zip files can be specified +on the command line (preceding the file name, if any) by prefixing the +password with a dash. Note that this constitutes a security risk on many +systems; currently running processes are often visible via simple commands +(e.g., \fIps\fP(1) under Unix), and command-line histories can be read. +If the first entry of the zip file is encrypted and +no password is specified on the command line, then the user is prompted for +a password and the password is not echoed on the console. +.PP +Given the limitation on single-member extraction, \fIfunzip\fP is most +useful in conjunction with a secondary archiver program such as \fItar\fP(1). +The following section includes an example illustrating this usage in the +case of disk backups to tape. +.PD +.\" ========================================================================= +.SH EXAMPLES +To use \fIfunzip\fP to extract the first member file of the archive test.zip +and to pipe it into \fImore\fP(1): +.PP +.EX +funzip test.zip | more +.EE +.PP +To use \fIfunzip\fP to test the first member file of test.zip (any errors +will be reported on standard error): +.PP +.EX +funzip test.zip > /dev/null +.EE +.PP +To use \fIzip\fP and \fIfunzip\fP in place of \fIcompress\fP(1) and +\fIzcat\fP(1) (or \fIgzip\fP(1) and \fIgzcat\fP(1)) for tape backups: +.PP +.EX +tar cf \- . | zip \-7 | dd of=/dev/nrst0 obs=8k +dd if=/dev/nrst0 ibs=8k | funzip | tar xf \- +.EE +.PP +(where, for example, nrst0 is a SCSI tape drive). +.PD +.\" ========================================================================= +.SH BUGS +When piping an encrypted file into \fImore\fP and allowing \fIfunzip\fP +to prompt for password, the terminal may sometimes be reset to a non-echo +mode. This is apparently due to a race condition between the two programs; +\fIfunzip\fP changes the terminal mode to non-echo before \fImore\fP reads +its state, and \fImore\fP then ``restores'' the terminal to this mode before +exiting. To recover, run \fIfunzip\fP on the same file but redirect to +/dev/null rather than piping into more; after prompting again for the +password, \fIfunzip\fP will reset the terminal properly. +.PP +There is presently no way to extract any member but the first from a ZIP +archive. This would be useful in the case where a ZIP archive is included +within another archive. In the case where the first member is a directory, +\fIfunzip\fP simply creates the directory and exits. +.PP +The functionality of \fIfunzip\fP should be incorporated into \fIunzip\fP +itself (future release). +.PD +.\" ========================================================================= +.SH "SEE ALSO" +\fIgzip\fP(1), \fIunzip\fP(1), \fIunzipsfx\fP(1), \fIzip\fP(1), +\fIzipcloak\fP(1), \fIzipinfo\fP(1), \fIzipnote\fP(1), \fIzipsplit\fP(1) +.PD +.\" ========================================================================= +.SH URL +The Info-ZIP home page is currently at +.EX +\fChttp://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/\fR +.EE +or +.EX +\fCftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/\fR . +.EE +.PD +.\" ========================================================================= +.SH AUTHOR +Mark Adler (Info-ZIP) |
