Simple unzip CLI tool for Windows
⚓ Rust 📅 2026-07-02 👤 surdeus 👁️ 1I found a post about absolutely fabulous utility for manipulating zip files - zippy. Indeed, Windows 11 doesn't include unzip utility, and you need to use the Explorer to unzip a file. It's fine as long as you do not need to write scripts. Since I learn Rust, I decided to write such utility. My bad, because if I used the site search, I would just get zippy earlier, and used it.
Usage: zipdir [opts] <file> [<content_file>...]
Where opts are:
/e, /-extract
Extract file if its size is less the max.
/h
This help screen
/l, /-list
Show the archive directory
/m number, /-max number
Max size (in meg) of an extracted file. Should be specified with
with -e. Default 32MB.
/o string, /-outdir string
Output directory for extracted files.
/v
Version of the product
/w, /-overwrite
Overwrite existing files.
/x, /-exclude
Provided content entry patterns are considered for exclusion from
extraction.
I wrote the small utility, not AI. So quality can be low and for the reason, I ask to review its code and give some feedback. Thank you for your time.
