DESCRIPTION¶
zipcloak encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zipfile. This is the
default action.
- The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in the
zipfile.
-
- zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is
considered weak.
-
- Note:
- The encryption code of this program is not copyrighted and
is put in the public domain. It was originally written in Europe and can
be freely distributed from any country including the U.S.A. (Previously if
this program was imported into the U.S.A, it could not be re-exported from
the U.S.A to another country.) See the file README.CR included in the
source distribution for more on this. Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license
applies.
EXAMPLES¶
To be added.
BUGS¶
Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported.
Split archives not yet supported. A work around is to convert the split archive
to a single-file archive using
zip and then use
zipcloak on the
single-file archive. If needed, the resulting archive can then be split again
using
zip.
