zipnote - write the comments in zipfile to stdout, edit comments and rename files in zipfile
Contents
Arguments
zipfile Zipfile to read comments from or edit.
Bugs
The temporary file format is rather specific and zipnote is rather picky about it. It should be easier
to change file names in a script.
Does not yet support large (> 2 GB) or split archives.
Description
zipnote writes the comments in a zipfile to stdout. This is the default mode. A second mode allows
updating the comments in a zipfile as well as allows changing the names of the files in the zipfile.
These modes are described below.
Examples
To write all comments in a zipfile to stdout use for example
zipnote foo.zip > foo.tmp
This writes all comments in the zipfile foo.zip to the file foo.tmp in a specific format.
If desired, this file can then be edited to change the comments and then used to update the zipfile.
zipnote -w foo.zip < foo.tmp
The names of the files in the zipfile can also be changed in this way. This is done by following lines
like
"@ name"
in the created temporary file (called foo.tmp here) with lines like
"@=newname"
and then using the -w option as above.
