NAME
     zipnote - write the comments in zipfile to stdout, edit com-
     ments and rename files in zipfile


SYNOPSIS
     zipnote [-w] [-b path] [-h] [-v] [-L] zipfile


ARGUMENTS
     zipfile  Zipfile to read comments from or edit.


OPTIONS
     -w   Write comments to a zipfile from stdin (see below).

     -b path
          Use path for the temporary zip file.

     -h   Show a short help.

     -v   Show version information.

     -L   Show software license.


DESCRIPTION
     zipnote writes the comments in a zipfile to stdout.  This is
     the  default  mode.   A second mode allows updating the com-
     ments 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  com-
     ments 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

User Commands                                          zipnote(1)



          "@=newname"
     and then using the -w option as above.


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.
