Linux - unpack zip file

1. Unpack files into the indicated directory

unzip file.zip -d ./output

# or

unzip /path/to/file.zip -d /path/to/output

Where:

• -d ./output or -d /path/to/output indicate the location where files will be extracted.

2. Suppress unpacking messages

unzip -q file.zip

# or:

unzip -q /path/to/file.zip

Where:

• -q disables printing messages related to unpacking in the console.

3. Use zip archive password

unzip -P "zip_file_password" file.zip

# or:

unzip -P "zip_file_password" /path/to/file.zip

Where:

• -P "zip_file_password" indicates the password necessary to unpack the zip file.

4. Overwrite existing files without prompting

unzip -o file.zip

# or:

unzip -o /path/to/file.zip

Where:

• -o forces already extracted files overwriting (if there exists extracted file before - it will be overwritten)
