This version of zip has updated command line  pro‐
       cessing and support for long options.

       Short options take the form

              ‐s[‐][s[‐]...][value][=value][ value]

       where  s  is  a  one or two character short option.  A short option that
       takes a value is last in an argument and anything after it is  taken  as
       the value.  If the option can be negated and "‐" immediately follows the
       option, the option is negated.  Short options can also be given as sepa‐
       rate arguments

              ‐s[‐][value][=value][ value] ‐s[‐][value][=value][ value] ...

       Short options in general take values either as part of the same argument
       or as the following argument.  An optional = is also supported.  So

              ‐ttmmddyyyy

       and

              ‐tt=mmddyyyy

       and

              ‐tt mmddyyyy

       all  work.   The  -x  and  -i  options  accept lists of values and use a
       slightly different format described below.  See the -x and -i options.

       Long options take the form

              ‐‐longoption[‐][=value][ value]

       where the option starts with ‐‐, has a multicharacter name, can  include
       a  trailing  dash  to negate the option (if the option supports it), and
       can have a value (option argument) specified by preceding it with =  (no
       spaces).  Values can also follow the argument.  So

              ‐‐before‐date=mmddyyyy

       and

              ‐‐before‐date mmddyyyy

       both work.

       Long  option names can be shortened to the shortest unique abbreviation.
       See the option descriptions below for which support  long  options.   To
       avoid  confusion, avoid abbreviating a negatable option with an embedded
       dash ("‐") at the dash if you plan to negate it (the parser  would  con‐
       sider  a  trailing  dash,  such  as  for  the option --some-option using
       --some- as the option, as part of the name rather than a negating dash).
       This may be changed to force the last dash in --some- to be negating  in
       the future.

OPTIONS
       -a
       --ascii
              [Systems using EBCDIC] Translate file to ASCII format.

       -A
       --adjust‐sfx
              Adjust self‐extracting executable archive.  A self‐extracting ex‐
              ecutable  archive is created by prepending the SFX stub to an ex‐
              isting archive. The -A option tells zip to adjust the entry  off‐
              sets  stored  in the archive to take into account this "preamble"
              data.

       Note: self‐extracting archives for the Amiga are  a  special  case.   At
       present,  only the Amiga port of zip is capable of adjusting or updating
       these without corrupting them. ‐J can be used to remove the SFX stub  if
       other updates need to be made.

       -AC
       --archive‐clear
              [WIN32]  Once archive is created (and tested if -T is used, which
              is  recommended),  clear  the  archive  bits  of files processed.
              WARNING: Once the bits are cleared they  are  cleared.   You  may
              want  to use the -sf show files option to store the list of files
              processed in case the archive operation must be  repeated.   Also
              consider  using  the -MM must match option.  Be sure to check out
              -DF as a possibly better way to do incremental backups.

       -AS
       --archive‐set
              [WIN32]  Only include files that have the archive bit  set.   Di‐
              rectories  are not stored when -AS is used, though by default the
              paths of entries, including directories, are stored as usual  and
              can be used by most unzips to recreate directories.

              The  archive  bit  is  set by the operating system when a file is
              modified and, if used with -AC, -AS can  provide  an  incremental
              backup  capability.   However,  other applications can
