-L, -- list lists the attributes of the compressed file;

-- Fast specifies the minimum compression ratio;

-- Best specifies the maximum compression ratio;

-N specifies the compression ratio (n is a number and 1 <= n <= 9 );

-V displays the progress information;

[Syntax]

-K: Keep the source file;

-N specifies the compression ratio (n is a number and 1 <= n <= 9 );

-L list the compressed file content;

-D. Delete the specified file from the compressed file;

-U: updates the content of the compressed file;

[General usage]

$ Zip-r all.zip dir_name;

# Update a compressed file

$ Zip all.zip-u log. text

# Delete the specified content

$ Zip-d all.zip log. text;

# Decompress the file

$ Unzip all.zip;
