NAME

6       fuse-zip - a FUSE filesystem for zip archives with write support
7

SYNOPSIS

9       fuse-zip [options] zip-file mount-point
10

OPTIONS

12       -h     print help
13
14       -V     print version
15
16       -r     open archive in read-only mode
17
18       -o opt[,opt...]
19              mount options (refer to mount.fuse(8) for details)
20
21       -f     don't detach from terminal
22
23       -d     turn on debugging, also implies -f
24
25   Specific mount options:
26       force_precise_time
27              By default high precision timestamp is saved to archive only for
28              new files or files with known creation time. You can force high-
29              precision  time  saving  by  specifying  '-o force_precise_time'
30              option. In this case creation time will  be  equal  to  a  first
31              known file modification time.

DESCRIPTION

34       fuse-zip  is a FUSE filesystem, that enables any program to work with a
35       ZIP archive as though it is a plain directory.   Unlike  KIO  or  Gnome
36       VFS, it can be used in any application without modifications.
37
38       Unlike  other FUSE filesystems, only fuse-zip provides write support to
39       ZIP archives.  Also, fuse-zip is faster than all known  implementations
40       on large archives with many files.
41
42       Since  version 0.3.0 fuse-zip has support for absolute and parent-rela‐
43       tive paths in file names, but only in read-only mode (-r  command  line
44       switch).  Absolute  paths  are  displayed under "ROOT" directory, every
45       ".." in path replaced by "UP" in directory name and "normal" files  are
46       placed under "CUR" directory.
47
48       Support  for UNIX file permissions and owner information has been added
49       in version 0.4.0. See PERMISSIONS for details.
50
51       Since version 0.5.0 fuse-zip forces open in read-only mode  if  archive
52       file or its parent directory is not writable.
53
54       File/archive comments are supported since version 0.7.0. To read/modify
55       file comment use extended attribute "user.comment". Archive comment  is
56       accessible via mount point's extended attribute.
57
58       If  you  want to specify character set conversion for file names in ar‐
59       chive, use the following fusermount options:
60
61         -omodules=iconv,from_code=$charset1,to_code=$charset2
62
63       See FUSE documentation for details.

USAGE

67       General usage would look like this
68
69

71       2   fuse-zip foobar.zip /tmp/zipArchive
72       3   (do something with the mounted file system)
73       4   fusermount -u /tmp/zipArchive
74
75       Be patient. Wait for fuse-zip process finish  after  unmounting,  espe‐
76       cially on a big archives.
