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. + +BUGS + The temporary file format is rather specific and zipnote is rather + picky about it.
