zipcloak: Encrypt the contents of a zipfile.
$ zipcloak ${path-to-archive-zip}
try on your machine

The command "zipcloak" is a command-line utility used to encrypt a zip archive.

In the command you provided, "${path-to-archive-zip}" should be replaced with the actual path to the zip archive file that you want to encrypt.

For example, if the path to your zip archive file is "/home/user/archive.zip", the command would be:

zipcloak /home/user/archive.zip

When you run this command, the zipcloak utility will prompt you to enter a password to encrypt the specified zip archive. Once you enter and confirm the password, the utility will encrypt the contents of the zip archive using the provided password.
