NAME

       fuse-zip - a FUSE filesystem for zip archives with write support

SYNOPSIS

       fuse-zip [options] zip-file mount-point

OPTIONS

       -h     print help

       -V     print version

       -r     open archive in read-only mode

       -o opt[,opt...]
              mount options (refer to mount.fuse(8) for details)

       -f     don't detach from terminal

       -d     turn on debugging, also implies -f

   Specific mount options:
       force_precise_time
              By  default  high  precision  timestamp is saved to archive only for new files or files with known
              creation time. You can force high-precision time  saving  by  specifying  '-o  force_precise_time'
              option. In this case creation time will be equal to a first known file modification time.

DESCRIPTION

       fuse-zip  is  a  FUSE  filesystem,  that enables any program to work with a ZIP archive as though it is a
       plain directory.  Unlike KIO or Gnome VFS, it can be used in any application without modifications.

       Unlike other FUSE filesystems, only fuse-zip provides write support to ZIP archives.  Also,  fuse-zip  is
       faster than all known implementations on large archives with many files.

       Since  version  0.3.0 fuse-zip has support for absolute and parent-relative paths in file names, but only
       in read-only mode (-r command line switch). Absolute paths are displayed under  "ROOT"  directory,  every
       ".." in path replaced by "UP" in directory name and "normal" files are placed under "CUR" directory.

       Support  for UNIX file permissions and owner information has been added in version 0.4.0. See PERMISSIONS
       for details.

       Since version 0.5.0 fuse-zip forces open in read-only mode if archive file or its parent directory is not
       writable.

       File/archive comments are supported since  version  0.7.0.  To  read/modify  file  comment  use  extended
       attribute "user.comment". Archive comment is accessible via mount point's extended attribute.

       If  you  want to specify character set conversion for file names in archive, use the following fusermount
       options:

         -omodules=iconv,from_code=$charset1,to_code=$charset2

       See FUSE documentation for details.

USAGE

       General usage would look like this

       1   mkdir /tmp/zipArchive
       2   fuse-zip foobar.zip /tmp/zipArchive
       3   (do something with the mounted file system)
       4   fusermount -u /tmp/zipArchive

       Be patient. Wait for fuse-zip process finish after unmounting, especially on a big archives.

PERMISSIONS

       Access check will not be performed unless -o default_permissions mount option is given.

FILES

       /var/log/user.log
              see this file in case any errors occur
