 data (e.g. a SFX stub) from the archive.

       -k
       --DOS‐names
              Attempt to convert the names and paths to conform to MSDOS, store
              only the MSDOS attribute (just  the  user  write  attribute  from
              Unix), and mark the entry as made under MSDOS (even though it was
              not);  for  compatibility  with  PKUNZIP under MSDOS which cannot
              handle certain names such as those with two dots.

       -l
       --to‐crlf
              Translate the Unix end‐of‐line character LF into the  MSDOS  con‐
              vention  CR  LF.  This option should not be used on binary files.
              This option can be used on Unix if the zip file is  intended  for
              PKUNZIP  under  MSDOS.  If the input files already contain CR LF,
              this option adds an extra CR. This is to ensure that unzip ‐a  on
              Unix  will  get  back an exact copy of the original file, to undo
              the effect of zip ‐l.  See ‐ll for how binary files are handled.

       -la
       --log‐append
              Append to existing logfile.  Default is to overwrite.

       -lf logfilepath
       --logfile‐path logfilepath
              Open a logfile at the given path.  By default any  existing  file
              at  that  location is overwritten, but the -la option will result
              in an existing file being opened and the new log information  ap‐
              pended to any existing information.  Only warnings and errors are
              written  to the log unless the -li option is also given, then all
              information messages are also written to the log.

       -li
       --log‐info
              Include information messages, such as file names being zipped, in
              the log.  The default is to only include the  command  line,  any
              warnings and errors, and the final status.

       -ll
       --from‐crlf
              Translate  the MSDOS end‐of‐line CR LF into Unix LF.  This option
              should not be used on binary files.  This option can be  used  on
              MSDOS  if  the zip file is intended for unzip under Unix.  If the
              file is converted and the file is later determined to be binary a
              warning is issued and the file is probably  corrupted.   In  this
              release  if  ‐ll  detects  binary in the first buffer read from a
              file, zip now issues a warning and skips line end  conversion  on
              the file.  This check seems to catch all binary files tested, but
              the  original  check remains and if a converted file is later de‐
              termined to be binary that warning is still issued.  A new  algo‐
              rithm  is  now  being used for binary detection that should allow
              line end conversion of text files in UTF‐8 and similar encodings.

       -L
       --license
              Display the zip license.

       -m
       --move
              Move the specified files into the  zip  archive;  actually,  this
              deletes  the  target directories/files after making the specified
              zip archive. If a directory becomes empty after  removal  of  the
              files, the directory is also removed. No deletions are done until
              zip  has  created  the archive without error.  This is useful for
              conserving disk space, but is potentially dangerous so it is rec‐
              ommended to use it in combination with -T to test the archive be‐
              fore removing all input files.

       -MM
       --must‐match
              All input patterns must match at least one  file  and  all  input
              files  found  must  be  readable.  Normally when an input pattern
              does not match a file the "name not matched"  warning  is  issued
              and when an input file has been found but later is missing or not
              readable  a missing or not readable
Title: zip Options: -k, -l, -la, -lf, -li, -ll, -L, -m, -MM
Summary
This section details more zip options. '-k' converts names and paths to MSDOS format. '-l' translates Unix LF to MSDOS CR LF. '-la' appends to an existing logfile. '-lf' opens a logfile at the specified path. '-li' includes information messages in the log. '-ll' translates MSDOS CR LF to Unix LF. '-L' displays the zip license. '-m' moves specified files into the archive, deleting them after successful creation. '-MM' requires all input patterns to match at least one file and all found files to be readable.
