# The `unzip` command
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `unzip` command extracts all files from the specified ZIP archive to the current directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to extract the files the syntax would be the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
unzip myZipFile.zip
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To unzip a ZIP file to a different directory than the current one, don't forget to add the `-d` flag:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
unzip myZipFile.zip -d /path/to/directory
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To unzip a ZIP file and exclude specific file or files or directories from being extracted, don't forget to add the `-x` flag:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
unzip myZipFile.zip -x file1.txt file2.txt
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Syntax:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
unzip zipFileName [OPTION] [PARAMS]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
