Suppose we have following files in my current directory (docs) are listed below:Īdding: docs/ //Compressing the directoryĪdding: docs/unix.pdf // Compressing first fileĪdding: docs/oracle.pdf // Compressing second fileĪdding: docs/linux.pdf //Compressing third fileĥ. Syntax: $zip –r filename.zip directory_name
#ZIP A FILE ON MAC COMMAND LINE ZIP#
This option helps you to zip all the files present in the specified directory. r Option: To zip a directory recursively, use the -r option with the zip command and it will recursively zips the files in a directory.

#ZIP A FILE ON MAC COMMAND LINE ARCHIVE#
No deletions are done until zip has created the archive without error. If a directory becomes empty after removal of the files, the directory is also removed.

Move the specified files into the zip archive actually, this deletes the target directories/files after making the specified zip archive. m Option: Deletes the original files after zipping. The hello5.c file is updated to the zip fileģ.
#ZIP A FILE ON MAC COMMAND LINE UPDATE#
Update an existing entry in the zip archive only if it has been modified more recently than the version already in the zip archive.Īfter updating hello5.c from myfile.zip file, the files can be restored with unzip command Command: This option can be used to update the specified list of files or add new files to the existing zip file.

u Option: Updates the file in the zip archive. The hello7.c file is removed from zip fileĢ.
