NAME
     bsdunzip -- extract files from a ZIP archive

SYNOPSIS
     bsdunzip [-aCcfjLlnopqtuvy] [{ -O | -I } encoding] [-d dir] [-x pattern]
	      [-P password] zipfile [member ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The following options are available:

     -a 	 When  extracting a text file, convert DOS-style line endings to
		 Unix-style line endings.

     -C 	 Match file names case-insensitively.

     -c 	 Extract to stdout/screen.  When extracting files from the  zip-
		 file,	they  are written to stdout.  This is similar to -p, but
		 does not suppress normal output.

     -d dir	 Extract files into the specified directory rather than the cur-
		 rent directory.

     -f 	 Update existing.  Extract only files from the zipfile if a file
		 with the same name already exists on disk and is older than the
		 former.  Otherwise, the file is silently skipped.

     -I encoding

     -O encoding
		 Convert filenames from the specified encoding.

     -j 	 Ignore directories stored in the zipfile; instead, extract  all
		 files directly into the extraction directory.

     -L 	 Convert  the  names  of  the extracted files and directories to
		 lowercase.

     -l 	 List, rather than extract, the contents of the zipfile.

     -n 	 No overwrite.	When extracting a file from the  zipfile,  if  a
		 file  with  the  same	name already exists on disk, the file is
		 silently skipped.

     -o 	 Overwrite.  When extracting a file from the zipfile, if a  file
		 with the same name already exists on disk, the existing file is
		 replaced with the file from the zipfile.

     -p 	 Extract  to  stdout.	When  extracting files from the zipfile,
		 they are written to stdout.  The normal output is suppressed as
		 if -q was specified.

     -P password
		 Extract encrypted files using a password.  Putting  a	password
		 on the command line using this option can be insecure.

     -q 	 Quiet: print less information while extracting.

     -t 	 Test: do not extract anything, but verify the checksum of every
		 file in the archive.

     -u 	 Update.   When  extracting  a	file from the zipfile, if a file
		 with the same name already exists on disk, the existing file is
		 replaced with the file from the zipfile if and only if the lat-
		 ter is newer than the former.	Otherwise, the file is	silently
		 skipped.

     -v 	 List  verbosely,  rather than extract, the contents of the zip-
		 file.	This differs from -l by using the  long  listing.   Note
		 that  most  of  the data is currently fake and does not reflect
		 the content of the archive.

     -x pattern  Exclude files matching the pattern pattern.

     -y 	 Print four digit years in listings instead of two.

     -Z mode	 Emulate zipinfo(1L) mode.  Enabling  zipinfo(1L)  mode  changes
		 the  way  in  which additional arguments are parsed.  Currently
		 only zipinfo(1L) mode 1 is  supported,  which	lists  the  file
		 names one per line.

     [member ...]
		 Optional  list of members to extract from the zipfile.  Can in-
		 clude patterns, e.g., 'memberdir/*' will extract all files  and
		 dirs below memberdir.

     Note  that only one of -n, -o, and -u may be specified.  If specified file-
     name is "-", then data is read from stdin.

ENVIRONMENT
     If the UNZIP_DEBUG environment variable is defined, the -q command-line op-
     tion has no effect, and additional debugging information will be printed to
     stderr.

COMPATIBILITY
     The bsdunzip utility aims to be sufficiently compatible with  other  imple-
     mentations to serve as a drop-in replacement in the context of the ports(7)
     system.   No  attempt has been made to replicate functionality which is not
     required for that purpose.

     For compatibility reasons, command-line options will be recognized if  they
     are listed not only before but also after the name of the zipfile.

     Normally,	the  -a option should only affect files which are marked as text
     files in the zipfile's central directory.	 Since	the  archive(3)  library
     does  not	provide  access  to that information, it is not available to the
     bsdunzip utility.	Instead, the bsdunzip utility will assume that a file is
     a text file if no non-ASCII characters are present within the  first  block
     of data decompressed for that file.  If non-ASCII characters appear in sub-
     sequent blocks of data, a warning will be issued.

     The  bsdunzip  utility  is  only  able  to  process ZIP archives handled by
     libarchive(3).  Depending on the installed version of  libarchive(3),  this
     may or may not include self-extracting or ZIPX archives.

SEE ALSO
     libarchive(3)

HISTORY
     The bsdunzip utility appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.

AUTHORS
     The  bsdunzip  utility  and  this	manual	page  were written by Dag-Erling
     Smorgrav <des@FreeBSD.org>.  It uses the archive(3) library developed by
     Tim Kientzle <kientzle@FreeBSD.org>.

CAVEATS
     The bsdunzip utility performs two scans of the command-line  for  arguments
     before  and  after  the  archive name, so as to maintain compatibility with
     Info-ZIP unzip.  As a result, the POSIX `--'  double-dash	string	used  to
     separate  options from arguments will need to be repeated.  For example, to
     extract a "-a.jpg" from "-b.zip" with overwrite, one would need to invoke
	   bsdunzip -o -- -a.jpg -- -b.zip
