zipfile Zipfile to read comments from or edit.
OPTIONS¶

- Use path for the temporary zip file.

DESCRIPTION¶
zipnote writes the comments in a zipfile to stdout. 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 examplezipnote 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. It should be easier to change file names in a script.Does not yet support large (> 2 GB) or split archives.
