UnZip 5.50 of 17 February 2002, by Info-ZIP.  For more details see: unzip -v.

Usage: unzip file[.zip] [list] [/EXCL=(xlist)] [/DIR=exdir] /options /modifiers
   Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to exdir;
   file[.zip] may be a wildcard.  Type "unzip /ZIPINFO" for ZipInfo-mode usage.

Major options include (type unzip -h for Unix style flags):
    /[NO]TEST, /LIST, /[NO]SCREEN, /PIPE, /[NO]FRESHEN, /[NO]UPDATE,
    /[NO]COMMENT, /DIRECTORY=directory-spec, /EXCLUDE=(file-spec1,etc.)

Modifiers include:
    /BRIEF, /FULL, /[NO]TEXT[=NONE|AUTO|ALL], /[NO]BINARY[=NONE|AUTO|ALL],
    /[NO]OVERWRITE, /[NO]JUNK, /QUIET, /QUIET[=SUPER], /[NO]PAGE,
    /[NO]CASE_INSENSITIVE, /[NO]LOWERCASE, /[NO]VERSION, /[NO]RESTORE

Examples (see unzip.txt or "HELP UNZIP" for more info):
    unzip edit1 /EXCL=joe.jou /CASE_INSENSITIVE    => extract all files except
       joe.jou (or JOE.JOU, or any combination of case) from zipfile edit1.zip
    unzip zip201 "Makefile.VMS" vms/*.[ch]         => extract VMS Makefile and
       *.c and *.h files; must quote uppercase names if /CASE_INSENS not used
    unzip foo /DIR=tmp:[.test] /JUNK /TEXT /OVER   => extract all files to temp.
       directory without paths, auto-converting text files and overwriting

It might be there and I'm just blind.

Usage here is rare.
