1. The following syntax creates a zip archive:

        $ zip archive_name.zip file1 file2 file3...

Consider this example:

        $ zip file.zip file

Here, the file.zip file will be produced.

2. The -r flag will archive folders recursively:

        $ zip -r archive.zip folder1 folder2

3. The unzip command will extract files and folders from a ZIP file:

        $ unzip file.zip

The unzip command extracts the contents without removing the archive (unlike unlzma or gunzip).

4. The -u flag updates files in the archive with newer files:

        $ zip file.zip -u newfile 

5. The -d flag deletes one or more files from a zipped archive:

        $ zip -d arc.zip file.txt 

6. The -l flag to unzip lists the files in an archive:

        $ unzip -l archive.zip
