zip: Extract the comments on a zip archive to a file.
$ zipnote ${filename-zip} > ${filename-txt}
try on your machine

The command "zipnote ${filename-zip} > ${filename-txt}" is used to extract and display the comments or notes associated with a zip file. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. "zipnote" is the name of the command-line utility that is being executed.
  2. "${filename-zip}" is a placeholder representing the name or path of the zip file from which you want to extract the comments. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual filename or path of your zip file.
  3. ">" is a redirection operator in the command-line interface that redirects the output of the command to a file.
  4. "${filename-txt}" is a placeholder representing the desired name or path for the output text file where the comments will be stored. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual filename or path of your text file.

By running this command, the "zipnote" utility will read the zip file specified in "${filename-zip}" and extract the comments from it. The extracted comments will then be redirected to the file specified in "${filename-txt}".
