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 that all known implementations
on large archives with many files.
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.
FILES
- /var/log/user.log
