.\" =========================================================================
40
without a file argument acts as a filter; that is, it assumes that a
41
ZIP archive (or a \fIgzip\fP'd(1) file) is being piped into
42
standard input, and it extracts the first member from the archive to stdout.
43
When stdin comes from a tty device,
45
assumes that this cannot be a stream of (binary) compressed data and
46
shows a short help text, instead.
47
If there is a file argument, then input is read from the specified file
48
instead of from stdin.
50
A password for encrypted zip files can be specified
51
on the command line (preceding the file name, if any) by prefixing the
52
password with a dash. Note that this constitutes a security risk on many
53
systems; currently running processes are often visible via simple commands
54
(e.g., \fIps\fP(1) under Unix), and command-line histories can be read.
55
If the first entry of the zip file is encrypted and
56
no password is specified on the command line, then the user is prompted for
57
a password and the password is not echoed on the console.
59
Given the limitation on single-member extraction, \fIfunzip\fP is most
60
useful in conjunction with a secondary archiver program such as \fItar\fP(1).
61
The following section includes an example illustrating this usage in the
62
case of disk backups to tape.
64
.\" =========================================================================
66
To use \fIfunzip\fP to extract the first member file of the archive test.zip
67
and to pipe it into \fImore\fP(1):
70
funzip test.zip | more
73
To use \fIfunzip\fP to test the first member file of test.zip (any errors
74
will be reported on standard error):
77
funzip test.zip > /dev/null
80
To use \fIzip\fP and \fIfunzip\fP in place of \fIcompress\fP(1) and
81
\fIzcat\fP(1) (or \fIgzip\fP(1L) and \fIgzcat\fP(1L)) for tape backups:
84
tar cf \- . | zip \-7 | dd of=/dev/nrst0 obs=8k
85
dd if=/dev/nrst0 ibs=8k | funzip | tar xf \-
88
(where, for example, nrst0 is a SCSI tape drive).
90
.\" =========================================================================
92
When piping an encrypted file into \fImore\fP and allowing \fIfunzip\fP
93
to prompt for password, the terminal may sometimes be reset to a non-echo
94
mode. This is apparently due to a race condition between the two programs;
95
\fIfunzip\fP changes the terminal mode to non-echo before \fImore\fP reads
96
its state, and \fImore\fP then ``restores'' the terminal to this mode before
97
exiting. To recover, run \fIfunzip\fP on the same file but redirect to
98
/dev/null rather than piping into more; after prompting again for the
99
password, \fIfunzip\fP will reset the terminal properly.
101
There is presently no way to extract any member but the first from a ZIP
102
archive. This would be useful in the case where a ZIP archive is included
103
within another archive. In the case where the first member is a directory,
104
\fIfunzip\fP simply creates the directory and exits.
106
The functionality of \fIfunzip\fP should be incorporated into \fIunzip\fP
107
itself (future release).
