- unzip –list documents.zip
- unzip –l documents.zip
14. Given a file called documents.zip, how can you extract just the files under ProjectX?
- zip –x documents.zip ProjectX
- unzip documents.zip | grep ProjectX
- unzip –t documents.zip ProjectX
- unzip documents.zip ProjectX
- unzip documents.zip ProjectX/
