There's absolutely no need to unpack a zip to list the contents, unzip -l |
12 |
will do this, which is how file managers also do it. If you want to |
13 |
access the contents of a single file, the file manager will extract only |
14 |
that file. |
15 |
|
16 |
Konqueror handles this totally transparently, allowing you to list the |
17 |
contents and copy or read individual files as if the zip (or tar) archive |
18 |
were a directory. |
