zip: Print a specific archive contents.
$ zip -sf ${path-to-compressed-zip}
try on your machine

The command "zip -sf ${path-to-compressed-zip}" is used to determine the integrity of a zip file without extracting its contents.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "zip" is the command for creating or managing zip archives in Unix-like operating systems.
  • "-sf" is an option that stands for "show files" and is used to display a summary of the files in the zip archive.
  • "${path-to-compressed-zip}" is the path to the zip file you want to check. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to your compressed zip file.

When you run this command, it will show a summary of the files contained within the specified zip archive. This can be useful to quickly verify the contents and integrity of the zip file.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
