(‘‘overwrite all’’) option is given.  This is a limitation of the
       operating system; because directories only have a creation time  associ‐
       ated with them, unzip has no way to determine whether the stored attrib‐
       utes are newer or older than those on disk.  In practice this may mean a
       two‐pass  approach is required:  first unpack the archive normally (with
       or without freshening/updating existing files), then overwrite just  the
       directory entries (e.g., ‘‘unzip ‐o foo */’’).

       [VMS]  When  extracting  to another directory, only the [.foo] syntax is
       accepted for the -d option; the simple Unix foo syntax is  silently  ig‐
       nored (as is the less common VMS foo.dir syntax).

       [VMS]  When  the file being extracted already exists, unzip’s query only
       allows skipping, overwriting or renaming; there should additionally be a
       choice for creating a new version of the file.   In  fact,  the  ‘‘over‐
       write’’  choice  does create a new version; the old version is not over‐
       written or deleted.
