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 default
     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 de-
     scribed 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.
