Cleaned up version of unzip

Primary LanguageCOtherNOASSERTION

This is a cleaned-up and stripped-down version of the Info-ZIP unzip tool, targeting POSIX-based (aka Unix) systes.

The goal here is to be a lean, mean, unzipping machine. Non-goals include:

  • Supporting non-POSIX systems. Windows support is not a goal, for example.
  • Supporting obsolete systems. The original version of unzip claimed support for many, many different long-dead operating systems as a point of pride, at the expense of code readability.
  • Supporting every feature that Info-ZIP supported. Some more obscure command line arguments and features have been deleted.
  • Providing anything except the unzip binary. The Info-ZIP version of unzip provided other binaries named funzip, unzipsfx, zipgrep and zipinfo. Code for all of these has been deleted.
