Introducing fuse-zip FOR LINUX

fuse-zip, an open-source and free command-line utility, offers a FUSE-based filesystem to conveniently mount ZIP archives with read/write support on Linux kernel-based operating systems. Built on the libzip library and implemented in C++, fuse-zip enables users to seamlessly create, extract, navigate, and modify ZIP archives, providing a user experience similar to working with real directories.

Key Features:

• Open source and free command-line utility


• FUSE-based filesystem for mounting ZIP archives with read/write support


• Based on the libzip library and implemented in C++


• Allows creating, extracting, navigating, and modifying ZIP archives


• Can be seamlessly integrated into any application without modifications


• Offers faster performance compared to similar programs


• Supports both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms

Installation Steps:

To install fuse-zip on your GNU/Linux system:

1. Download the latest version from Softpedia or the project's website


2. Save the file to a preferred location


3. Extract the file and open a terminal emulator


4. Navigate to the extracted archive location using the 'cd' command


5. Run 'make' command to compile the program


6. Execute 'make install' command as root or with sudo to install system-wide

Command-line Options:

fuse-zip provides various command-line options that can be accessed by running 'fuse-zip --help' command in a terminal emulator. Some of the notable options include:

• Ability to open archives in read-only mode


• Debugging mode


• Option to not detach from the terminal

As a C++ based program, fuse-zip requires the libzip library for operation. The software is distributed as a single archive in ZIP file format, making it compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.
