zipinfo - List Information about .zip Files




Sometimes, you may want to inspect the contents of a ".zip" file without actually extracting its contents. This is where the zipinfo command comes in handy. zipinfo allows you to preview detailed information about the contents of a compressed ".zip" file, including file names, compression ratios, encryption status, and more.

The syntax of the zipinfo command is as follows:
zipinfo [OPTIONS] [ZIP_FILE]

Some commonly used options with the zipinfo command include:

Example:
$ zipinfo backup.zip
Archive: backup.zip
Zip file size: 929 bytes, number of entries: 3
-rw-rw-r--  3.0 unx   332 tx defN 16-Feb-25 10:42 t1.cpp
-rw-rw-r--  3.0 unx   301 tx defN 16-Feb-25 09:34 t2.cpp
. . .

This command displays information about the contents of the "backup.zip" file, including file names, sizes, compression ratios, and modification dates.
