ZIPINFO(1L)                                                        ZIPINFO(1L)

NAME
       zipinfo - list detailed information about a ZIP archive

SYNOPSIS
       zipinfo [-12smlvhMtTz] file[.zip] [file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...]

       unzip -Z [-12smlvhMtTz] file[.zip] [file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...]

DESCRIPTION
       zipinfo  lists technical information about files in a ZIP archive, most
       commonly found on  MS-DOS  systems.   Such  information  includes  file
       access permissions, encryption status, type of compression, version and
       operating system or file system of compressing program, and  the  like.
       The  default  behavior (with no options) is to list single-line entries
       for each file in the archive, with header and trailer  lines  providing
       summary  information  for  the  entire  archive.  The format is a cross
       between Unix ``ls -l'' and ``unzip -v'' output.  See DETAILED  DESCRIP-
       TION  below.   Note  that  zipinfo  is the same program as unzip (under
       Unix, a link to it); on some systems, however, zipinfo support may have
       been omitted when unzip was compiled.

ARGUMENTS
       file[.zip]
              Path  of  the  ZIP  archive(s).   If the file specification is a
              wildcard, each matching file is processed in an order determined
              by the operating system (or file system).  Only the filename can
              be a wildcard; the path itself cannot.  Wildcard expressions are
              similar to Unix egrep(1) (regular) expressions and may contain:

              *      matches a sequence of 0 or more characters

              ?      matches exactly 1 character

              [...]  matches  any  single character found inside the brackets;
                     ranges are specified by a beginning character, a  hyphen,
                     and  an  ending  character.  If an exclamation point or a
                     caret (`!' or `^') follows the  left  bracket,  then  the
                     range  of  characters within the brackets is complemented
                     (that is,  anything  except  the  characters  inside  the
                     brackets  is  considered a match).  To specify a verbatim
                     left bracket, the three-character sequence ``[[]'' has to
                     be used.

              (Be  sure  to quote any character that might otherwise be inter-
              preted or modified by the operating system,  particularly  under
              Unix  and  VMS.)   If no matches are found, the specification is
              assumed to be a literal filename; and if that  also  fails,  the
              suffix  .zip  is  appended.  Note that self-extracting ZIP files
              are supported, as with any other ZIP archive; just  specify  the
              .exe suffix (if any) explicitly.

       [file(s)]
              An  optional  list of archive members to be processed, separated
              by spaces.  (VMS versions  compiled  with  VMSCLI  defined  must
              delimit  files with commas instead.)  Regular expressions (wild-
              cards) may be used to match multiple members; see above.  Again,
              be sure to quote expressions that would otherwise be expanded or
              modified by the operating system.

       [-x xfile(s)]
              An optional list of archive members to be excluded from process-
              ing.

OPTIONS
       -1     list  filenames  only,  one  per line.  This option excludes all
              others;  headers,  trailers  and  zipfile  comments  are   never
              printed.  It is intended for use in Unix shell scripts.

       -2     list  filenames  only,  one  per  line,  but allow headers (-h),
              trailers (-t) and zipfile comments (-z), as well.   This  option
              may  be  useful in cases where the stored filenames are particu-
              larly long.

       -s     list zipfile info in short Unix ``ls -l'' format.  This  is  the
              default behavior; see below.

       -m     list zipfile info in medium Unix ``ls -l'' format.  Identical to
              the -s output, except that the compression factor, expressed  as
              a percentage, is also listed.

       -l     list  zipfile  info  in  long Unix ``ls -l'' format.  As with -m
              except that the compressed size (in bytes) is printed instead of
              the compression ratio.

       -v     list zipfile information in verbose, multi-page format.

       -h     list  header line.  The archive name, actual size (in bytes) and
              total number of files is printed.

       -M     pipe all output through an internal pager similar  to  the  Unix
              more(1)  command.   At the end of a screenful of output, zipinfo
              pauses with a ``--More--'' prompt; the  next  screenful  may  be
              viewed  by  pressing  the  Enter  (Return) key or the space bar.
              zipinfo can be terminated by pressing the ``q'' key and, on some
              systems, the Enter/Return key.  Unlike Unix more(1), there is no
              forward-searching or editing capability.  Also, zipinfo  doesn't
              notice if long lines wrap at the edge of the screen, effectively
              resulting in the printing of two or more lines and  the  likeli-
              hood that some text will scroll off the top of the screen before
              being viewed.  On some systems the number of available lines  on
              the  screen  is  not detected, in which case zipinfo assumes the
              height is 24 lines.

       -t     list totals for files listed or for all files.   The  number  of
              files  listed,  their  uncompressed and compressed total sizes ,
              and their overall compression factor is printed; or, if only the
              totals  line is being printed, the values for the entire archive
              are given.  The compressed total size does not  include  the  12
              additional  header  bytes of each encrypted entry. Note that the
              total compressed (data) size will never match the actual zipfile
              size,  since  the  latter  includes  all of the internal zipfile
              headers in addition to the compressed data.

       -T     print the file dates and times  in  a  sortable  decimal  format
              (yymmdd.hhmmss).   The  default  date format is a more standard,
              human-readable version with abbreviated month names  (see  exam-
              ples below).

       -z     include the archive comment (if any) in the listing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
       zipinfo has a number of modes, and its behavior can be rather difficult
       to fathom if one isn't familiar with Unix ls(1) (or even  if  one  is).
       The default behavior is to list files in the following format:

  -rw-rws---  1.9 unx    2802 t- defX 11-Aug-91 13:48 perms.2660

       The  last  three fields are the modification date and time of the file,
       and its name.  The case of the filename is respected; thus  files  that
       come  from MS-DOS PKZIP are always capitalized.  If the file was zipped
       with a stored directory name, that is also displayed  as  part  of  the
       filename.

       The  second  and  third  fields indicate that the file was zipped under
       Unix with version 1.9 of zip.  Since it comes from Unix, the file  per-
       missions  at the beginning of the line are printed in Unix format.  The
       uncompressed file-size (2802 in this example) is the fourth field.

       The fifth field consists of two characters, either of which may take on
       several values.  The first character may be either `t' or `b', indicat-
       ing that zip believes the file to be text or binary, respectively;  but
       if  the  file is encrypted, zipinfo notes this fact by capitalizing the
       character (`T' or `B').  The second character may  also  take  on  four
       values,  depending  on whether there is an extended local header and/or
       an ``extra  field''  associated  with  the  file  (fully  explained  in
       PKWare's  APPNOTE.TXT,  but  basically  analogous  to  pragmas  in ANSI
       C--i.e., they provide a standard way to include  non-standard  informa-
       tion  in  the  archive).   If  neither  exists, the character will be a
       hyphen (`-'); if there is an extended local header but no extra  field,
       `l';  if  the  reverse,  `x'; and if both exist, `X'.  Thus the file in
       this example is (probably) a text file, is not encrypted, and has  nei-
       ther  an  extra  field nor an extended local header associated with it.
       The example below, on the other hand, is an encrypted binary file  with
       an extra field:

  RWD,R,R     0.9 vms     168 Bx shrk  9-Aug-91 19:15 perms.0644

       Extra  fields  are  used for various purposes (see discussion of the -v
       option below) including the storage of VMS file  attributes,  which  is
       presumably  the case here.  Note that the file attributes are listed in
       VMS format.  Some other possibilities for  the  host  operating  system
       (which  is  actually  a  misnomer--host  file  system  is more correct)
       include OS/2 or NT with High Performance File  System  (HPFS),  MS-DOS,
       OS/2 or NT with File Allocation Table (FAT) file system, and Macintosh.
       These are denoted as follows:

  -rw-a--     1.0 hpf    5358 Tl i4:3  4-Dec-91 11:33 longfilename.hpfs
  -r--ahs     1.1 fat    4096 b- i4:2 14-Jul-91 12:58 EA DATA. SF
  --w-------  1.0 mac   17357 bx i8:2  4-May-92 04:02 unzip.macr

       File attributes in the first two cases are  indicated  in  a  Unix-like
       format,  where the seven subfields indicate whether the file:  (1) is a
       directory, (2) is readable (always true), (3) is writable, (4) is  exe-
       cutable  (guessed on the basis of the extension--.exe, .com, .bat, .cmd
       and .btm files are assumed to be so), (5) has its archive bit set,  (6)
       is  hidden, and (7) is a system file.  Interpretation of Macintosh file
       attributes is unreliable because some Macintosh archivers  don't  store
       any attributes in the archive.

       Finally,  the sixth field indicates the compression method and possible
       sub-method used.  There are six methods known at present:  storing  (no
       compression),  reducing,  shrinking,  imploding, tokenizing (never pub-
       licly released), and deflating.  In addition, there are four levels  of
       reducing  (1 through 4); four types of imploding (4K or 8K sliding dic-
       tionary, and 2 or 3 Shannon-Fano trees); and four levels  of  deflating
       (superfast,  fast,  normal,  maximum  compression).  zipinfo represents
       these methods and their sub-methods  as  follows:   stor;  re:1,  re:2,
       etc.; shrk; i4:2, i8:3, etc.; tokn; and defS, defF, defN, and defX.

       The  medium  and long listings are almost identical to the short format
       except that they add information on the file's compression.  The medium
       format  lists  the file's compression factor as a percentage indicating
       the amount of space that has been ``removed'':

  -rw-rws---  1.5 unx    2802 t- 81% defX 11-Aug-91 13:48 perms.2660

       In this example, the file has been compressed by more than a factor  of
       five;  the compressed data are only 19% of the original size.  The long
       format gives the compressed file's size in bytes, instead:

  -rw-rws---  1.5 unx    2802 t-     538 defX 11-Aug-91 13:48 perms.2660

       In contrast to the unzip listings, the compressed size figures in  this
       listing  format  denote the complete size of compressed data, including
       the 12 extra header bytes in case of encrypted entries.

       Adding the -T option changes the file date and time to decimal format:

  -rw-rws---  1.5 unx    2802 t-     538 defX 910811.134804 perms.2660

       Note that because of limitations in the MS-DOS  format  used  to  store
       file  times,  the  seconds  field is always rounded to the nearest even
       second.  For Unix files this is expected to change in  the  next  major
       releases of zip(1L) and unzip.

       In  addition  to individual file information, a default zipfile listing
       also includes header and trailer lines:

  Archive:  OS2.zip   5453 bytes   5 files
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf     730 b- i4:3 26-Jun-92 23:40 Contents
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf    3710 b- i4:3 26-Jun-92 23:33 makefile.os2
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf    8753 b- i8:3 26-Jun-92 15:29 os2unzip.c
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf      98 b- stor 21-Aug-91 15:34 unzip.def
  ,,rw,       1.0 hpf      95 b- stor 21-Aug-91 17:51 zipinfo.def
  5 files, 13386 bytes uncompressed, 4951 bytes compressed:  63.0%

       The header line gives the name of the archive, its total size, and  the
       total  number  of  files; the trailer gives the number of files listed,
       their total uncompressed size, and their  total  compressed  size  (not
       including  any  of  zip's internal overhead).  If, however, one or more
       file(s) are provided, the header and  trailer  lines  are  not  listed.
       This  behavior  is  also similar to that of Unix's ``ls -l''; it may be
       overridden by specifying the -h and -t options explicitly.  In  such  a
       case  the listing format must also be specified explicitly, since -h or
       -t (or both) in the absence of other  options  implies  that  ONLY  the
       header  or  trailer line (or both) is listed.  See the EXAMPLES section
       below for a semi-intelligible translation of this nonsense.

       The verbose listing is mostly self-explanatory.   It  also  lists  file
       comments  and  the  zipfile comment, if any, and the type and number of
       bytes in any stored extra  fields.   Currently  known  types  of  extra
       fields  include  PKWARE's  authentication  (``AV'') info; OS/2 extended
       attributes; VMS filesystem info, both  PKWARE  and  Info-ZIP  versions;
       Macintosh  resource  forks;  Acorn/Archimedes  SparkFS info; and so on.
       (Note that in the case of OS/2 extended  attributes--perhaps  the  most
       common  use  of  zipfile  extra  fields--the  size of the stored EAs as
       reported by zipinfo may not match the number given by OS/2's  dir  com-
       mand:  OS/2  always reports the number of bytes required in 16-bit for-
       mat, whereas zipinfo always reports the 32-bit storage.)

       Again, the compressed size figures of the  individual  entries  include
       the  12  extra  header  bytes  for encrypted entries.  In contrast, the
       archive total compressed size and the average compression  ratio  shown
       in  the  summary bottom line are calculated without the extra 12 header
       bytes of encrypted entries.

ENVIRONMENT OPTIONS
       Modifying zipinfo's default behavior via options placed in an  environ-
       ment  variable  can  be  a bit complicated to explain, due to zipinfo's
       attempts to handle various defaults in  an  intuitive,  yet  Unix-like,
       manner.   (Try  not  to laugh.)  Nevertheless, there is some underlying
       logic.  In brief, there are three ``priority levels'' of options:   the
       default  options; environment options, which can override or add to the
       defaults; and explicit options given by the user, which can override or
       add to either of the above.

       The  default listing format, as noted above, corresponds roughly to the
       "zipinfo -hst" command (except  when  individual  zipfile  members  are
       specified).   A  user who prefers the long-listing format (-l) can make
       use of the zipinfo's environment variable to change this default:

       Unix Bourne shell:
              ZIPINFO=-l; export ZIPINFO

       Unix C shell:
              setenv ZIPINFO -l

       OS/2 or MS-DOS:
              set ZIPINFO=-l

       VMS (quotes for lowercase):
              define ZIPINFO_OPTS "-l"

       If, in addition, the user dislikes the trailer line, zipinfo's  concept
       of  ``negative  options'' may be used to override the default inclusion
       of the line.  This is accomplished by preceding  the  undesired  option
       with one or more minuses:  e.g., ``-l-t'' or ``--tl'', in this example.
       The first hyphen is the regular switch character, but  the  one  before
       the  `t'  is  a  minus sign.  The dual use of hyphens may seem a little
       awkward, but it's reasonably intuitive nonetheless:  simply ignore  the
       first  hyphen and go from there.  It is also consistent with the behav-
       ior of the Unix command nice(1).

       As suggested above, the default variable names are ZIPINFO_OPTS for VMS
       (where  the  symbol  used to install zipinfo as a foreign command would
       otherwise be confused with the environment variable), and  ZIPINFO  for
       all  other  operating  systems.  For compatibility with zip(1L), ZIPIN-
       FOOPT is also accepted (don't ask).  If both ZIPINFO and ZIPINFOOPT are
       defined,  however, ZIPINFO takes precedence.  unzip's diagnostic option
       (-v with no zipfile name) can be used to check the values of  all  four
       possible unzip and zipinfo environment variables.

EXAMPLES
       To  get a basic, short-format listing of the complete contents of a ZIP
       archive storage.zip, with both header and totals lines,  use  only  the
       archive name as an argument to zipinfo:

           zipinfo storage

       To produce a basic, long-format listing (not verbose), including header
       and totals lines, use -l:

           zipinfo -l storage

       To list the complete contents of the archive without header and  totals
       lines, either negate the -h and -t options or else specify the contents
       explicitly:

           zipinfo --h-t storage
           zipinfo storage \*

       (where the backslash is required only  if  the  shell  would  otherwise
       expand  the `*' wildcard, as in Unix when globbing is turned on--double
       quotes around the asterisk would have worked as well).  To turn off the
       totals  line  by  default,  use  the  environment  variable (C shell is
       assumed here):

           setenv ZIPINFO --t
           zipinfo storage

       To get the full, short-format listing of the first example again, given
       that  the environment variable is set as in the previous example, it is
       necessary to specify the -s option explicitly, since the -t  option  by
       itself implies that ONLY the footer line is to be printed:

           setenv ZIPINFO --t
           zipinfo -t storage            [only totals line]
           zipinfo -st storage           [full listing]

       The -s option, like -m and -l, includes headers and footers by default,
       unless otherwise specified.  Since the environment  variable  specified
       no  footers  and that has a higher precedence than the default behavior
       of -s, an explicit -t option was necessary to produce the full listing.
       Nothing  was  indicated about the header, however, so the -s option was
       sufficient.  Note that both the -h and -t options, when used  by  them-
       selves  or  with  each  other,  override  any default listing of member
       files; only the header and/or footer are  printed.   This  behavior  is
       useful  when zipinfo is used with a wildcard zipfile specification; the
       contents of all zipfiles are then summarized with a single command.

       To list information on a single file within the archive, in medium for-
       mat, specify the filename explicitly:

           zipinfo -m storage unshrink.c

       The specification of any member file, as in this example, will override
       the default header and totals lines; only the single line  of  informa-
       tion  about  the  requested  file will be printed.  This is intuitively
       what one would expect when requesting information about a single  file.
       For multiple files, it is often useful to know the total compressed and
       uncompressed size; in such cases -t may be specified explicitly:

           zipinfo -mt storage "*.[ch]" Mak\*

       To get maximal information about  the  ZIP  archive,  use  the  verbose
       option.   It  is  usually wise to pipe the output into a filter such as
       Unix more(1) if the operating system allows it:

           zipinfo -v storage | more

       Finally, to see the most recently modified files in  the  archive,  use
       the  -T  option in conjunction with an external sorting utility such as
       Unix sort(1) (and sed(1) as well, in this example):

           zipinfo -T storage | sort -nr -k 7 | sed 15q

       The -nr option to sort(1) tells it to sort numerically in reverse order
       rather  than  in textual order, and the -k 7 option tells it to sort on
       the seventh field.  This assumes the default short-listing  format;  if
       -m  or -l is used, the proper sort(1) option would be -k 8.  Older ver-
       sions of sort(1) do not support the -k option, but you can use the tra-
       ditional  +  option instead, e.g., +6 instead of -k 7.  The sed(1) com-
       mand filters out all but the first 15 lines  of  the  listing.   Future
       releases  of  zipinfo may incorporate date/time and filename sorting as
       built-in options.

TIPS
       The author finds it convenient to define an alias  ii  for  zipinfo  on
       systems  that allow aliases (or, on other systems, copy/rename the exe-
       cutable, create a link or create a command file with the name ii).  The
       ii  usage  parallels the common ll alias for long listings in Unix, and
       the similarity between the outputs of the two commands was intentional.

BUGS
       As  with  unzip, zipinfo's -M (``more'') option is overly simplistic in
       its handling of screen output; as noted above, it fails to  detect  the
       wrapping  of  long  lines and may thereby cause lines at the top of the
       screen to be scrolled off before being read.  zipinfo should detect and
       treat  each  occurrence  of  line-wrap  as one additional line printed.
       This requires knowledge of the screen's width as well  as  its  height.
       In addition, zipinfo should detect the true screen geometry on all sys-
       tems.

       zipinfo's listing-format behavior is unnecessarily complex  and  should
       be simplified.  (This is not to say that it will be.)
