DESCRIPTIONzipnote writes the comments in a zipfile to stdout. This is the default mode. A second mode allows updatingthe comments in a zipfile as well as allows changing the names of the files in the zipfile. These modes aredescribed below.EXAMPLESTo write all comments in a zipfile to stdout use for examplezipnote foo.zip > foo.tmpThis 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.tmpThe 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.BUGSThe temporary file format is rather specific and zipnote is rather picky about it. It should be easier tochange file names in a script.Does not yet support large (> 2 GB) or split archives.
