How do you use unzip

[jacatone]

Downloaded a copy of CrossOver which is in a zip file. Downloaded and install unzip but don't understand how to use it. Anyone know? Thanks.

Re: How do you use unzip

The easiest way is to use frontends:

XArchive - a gtk2.0 front-end for various command line archivers.

Currently there are bash shell wrappers for:

tar using tar, bzip2, gzip, and compress

rar using rar, or unrar(unrar only cannot modify rar’s)

zip using unzip, zipinfo(from unzip), and zip

ace using unace (extraction only)

7zip using 7za from p7zip

arj using arj

rpm using rpm and cpio (extract only, use appropriate packing tools
to modify)

deb using dpkg-deb from dpkg (extract only, use appropriate tools to
modify)

man unzip:

UNZIP(1) UNZIP(1)

NAME
unzip - list, test and extract compressed files in a ZIP archive

SYNOPSIS
unzip [-Z] [-cflptTuvz[abjnoqsCKLMVWX$/:]] file[.zip] [file(s) ...]
[-x xfile(s) ...] [-d exdir]

DESCRIPTION
unzip will list, test, or extract files from a ZIP archive, commonly
found on MS-DOS systems. The default behavior (with no options) is to
extract into the current directory (and subdirectories below it) all
files from the specified ZIP archive. A companion program, zip(1),
creates ZIP archives; both programs are compatible with archives cre‐
ated by PKWARE’s PKZIP and PKUNZIP for MS-DOS, but in many cases the
program options or default behaviors differ.
