NAME

       minizip - create ZIP archives

SYNOPSIS

       minizip [-o] zipfile [ " files" ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       minizip  is a simple tool which allows the creation of compressed file archives in the ZIP format used by
       the MS-DOS utility PKZIP.  It was written as a demonstration of the zlib(3) library  and  therefore  lack
       many of the features of the zip(1) program.

OPTIONS

       The  first  argument  supplied is the name of the ZIP archive to create or -o in which case it is ignored
       and the second argument treated as the name of the ZIP file.  If the ZIP file already exists it  will  be
       overwritten.

       Subsequent  arguments specify a list of files to place in the ZIP archive.  If none are specified then an
       empty archive will be created.

SEE ALSO

       miniunzip(1), zlib(3), zip(1).
