filetype
processes files with the specified
file type information in the .ZIP file
(UNIX)
note:a "-" before a filetype
sub-option tells PKZIP to exclude the specified filetype(s) regardless
of the default configuration setting (e.g. -filetype=-hidden will exclude
hidden files regardless of the default configuration setting) |
hidden
- include/exclude filenames that have a dot "." in the first position of
the filename (e.g. .profile)
pipe - include/exclude pipe
files. These are files having a file mode starting with "p" (e.g. prwxrw-rw-)
slink - include/exclude symbolic
links. These are files having a file mode starting with "l" (e.g. lrw-rw-rw-)
hlink -include/exclude hard
linked files. These are linked files that are not symbolic links. They
are files with a link count >1
none - exclude all of the above
file types; Generally, this option should be followed by one, or more,
file types. This results in just the type(s) specified being included in
the ZIP file. For example, -filetype=none, pipe results in only PIPE files
being included
all - include all of the above
file types
regular - include/exclude regular
files

PKZIP will prompt you for the header text
to include an existing file:
pkzip25 -add -hea=@text.doc save.zip

files with preserved UID and GID information must have the same UID as
is archived in the .ZIP file or root (superuser) file privileges |

-----------------------------
no default value |
pkzip25 -add
-include=*.doc save.zip
in this example, only .doc files will
be compressed
pkzip25 -config -include=*.txt
in this example, you are setting up
.txt files as the files that you always want to compress or extract, until
you change the default or override from the command line with the exclude
option
note: when you use the include

Name/Description: |
Value(s): |
Example
usage: |
Used
with: |
links
specify that linked files be followed
or preserved in a .ZIP archive
(UNIX)
note:
following a link results in a larger .ZIP file since two copies of file
data are compressed as though each link is a separate file |
hlink
- hard links will be followed (stored) rather than preserved
slink - symbolic links will
be followed (stored) rather that preserved
all - symbolic and hard links
will be followed rather than preserved
none - symbolic and hard links
will be preserved
-----------------------------
default = none |
pkzip25 -add
-filetype=hlink -links=hlink save.zip
this example compresses regular and
hard linked files as well as duplicates link and file data for each hard
linked file added to the .ZIP file |

Example
usage: |
Used
with: |
sort
sort files within .ZIP file based on
specific criteria (for example, by file size)

date - sort by file date of
file
extension - sort by file extension
name - sort alphabetically by
name
natural - sort in the order
that the file was compressed
ratio - sort by compression
ratio
size - sort by the original,
uncompressed size of the file ("length" in display)
none - do not sort (same as
natural)
-----------------------------
default = natural
default if used on command line without
a sub-option = name |
pkzip25 -add
-sort=date save.zip *.doc
pkzip25 -config -sort=date
note: when you use the sort
option with the configuration command, PKZIP prompts you to configure the
mask default for add, extract, and/or view operations |
add, extract,
test, view |

Value(s): |
Example
usage: |
Used
with: |
span
forces disk spanning in the event that
PKZIP is unable to detect the fact that destination directory is on removable

proceed automatically; a command line option is usually not necessary to
enable this feature

with: |
temp
creates the temporary .ZIP file required
by PKZIP, on specified drive

when updating an existing .ZIP file |
the drive and/or
path.
e.g. C: or /root/temp
-----------------------------
no default value |
pkzip25 -add
-temp=Z:\PUBLIC test.zip *.txt
this example updates the .ZIP file
test.zip and uses the Z:\PUBLIC directory location for the temp file
pkzip25 -add -temp=/temp test.zip *.txt
this example updates the .ZIP file
test.zip and uses the /temp directory location for the temp file
|

Name/Description: |
Value(s): |
Example
usage: |
Used
with: |
test
test the integrity of files within
a .ZIP file
configurable |
all
- all files in .ZIP file will
be tested
freshen - only those files in
the .ZIP file which already exist in the extract directory and that have
a file modification date newer that the files already in the directory
will be tested
update - files in the .ZIP file
which already exist in the target directory and that are "newer" than those
files and files that are "not" in the target directory will be tested

if necessary translate the carriage return/newline sequence for compatibility
with a specified operating system
(UNIX) |
none
- no translation is performed on text files
dos - translates text files
so lines end with a return/newline pair as per the DOS standard
mac - translates text files
so lines end with a single carriage return as per the MacOS standard
unix - translates text files
so lines end with a single newline as per the UNIX (i.e. POSIX) standard

- returns the major version number of the release
minor - returns the minor number
of the release (e.g. - if the version number is 2.5.1, the value returned
