zipnote(1)		    General Commands Manual		    zipnote(1)

NAME
       zipnote	-  write  the comments in zipfile to stdout, edit comments and
       rename files in zipfile

SYNOPSIS
       zipnote [-w] [-b	path] [-h] [-v]	[-L] zipfile

ARGUMENTS
       zipfile	Zipfile	to read	comments from or edit.

OPTIONS
       -w     Write comments to	a zipfile from stdin (see below).

       -b path
	      Use path for the temporary zip file.

       -h     Show a short help.

       -v     Show version information.

       -L     Show software license.

DESCRIPTION
       zipnote writes the comments in a	zipfile	to stdout.  This  is  the  de-
       fault mode.  A second mode allows updating the comments in a zipfile as
       well  as	 allows	changing the names of the files	in the zipfile.	 These
       modes are described below.

EXAMPLES
       To write	all comments in	a zipfile to stdout use	for example

	    zipnote foo.zip > foo.tmp

       This writes all comments	in the zipfile foo.zip to the file foo.tmp  in
       a specific format.

       If  desired,  this  file	 can then be edited to change the comments and
       then used to update the zipfile.

	    zipnote -w foo.zip < foo.tmp

       The names of the	files in the zipfile can also be changed in this  way.
       This is done by following lines like
	    "@ name"
       in the created temporary	file (called foo.tmp here) with	lines like
	    "@=newname"
       and then	using the -w option as above.

BUGS
       The  temporary  file  format  is	 rather	specific and zipnote is	rather
       picky about it.	It should be easier to change file names in a script.

       Does not	yet support large (> 2 GB) or split archives.
