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
		   zipfile,  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
		   current 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	exist-
		   ing 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 sup-
		   pressed as if -q was	specified.

       -P password
		   Extract encrypted files using a password.  Putting a	 pass-
		   word	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  latter  is	newer than the former.	Otherwise, the
		   file	is silently skipped.

       -v	   List	verbosely, rather than extract,	the  contents  of  the
		   zipfile.   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
		   include 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
       filename	is "-",	then data is read from stdin.

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

COMPATIBILITY
       The  bsdunzip utility aims to be	sufficiently compatible	with other im-
       plementations 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	avail-
       able to the bsdunzip utility.  Instead, the bsdunzip utility  will  as-
       sume  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 subsequent 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.

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 argu-
       ments before and	after the archive name,	so as to maintain  compatibil-
       ity  with  Info-ZIP  unzip.   As	 a  result, the	POSIX `--' double-dash
       string used to separate options from arguments  will  need  to  be  re-
       peated.	 For  example,	to extract a "-a.jpg" from "-b.zip" with over-
       write, one would	need to	invoke
	     bsdunzip -o -- -a.jpg -- -b.zip
