zipcloak: [O]utput the encrypted contents into a new zipfile.
$ zipcloak ${path-to-archive-zip} -O ${path-to-encrypted-zip}
try on your machine

The command "zipcloak" is used to encrypt an existing ZIP archive file. Here is the explanation of the command:

  • "${path-to-archive-zip}" refers to the path of the original ZIP archive file that you want to encrypt. This should be the existing ZIP file you want to modify.
  • "-O" is an option that specifies the output file, in this case, the encrypted ZIP file that will be created.
  • "${path-to-encrypted-zip}" represents the path where you want to save the newly encrypted ZIP file.

Overall, this command takes the original ZIP archive file, encrypts it using the zipcloak tool, and saves the encrypted version to the specified output file location.

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.
