> Package and compress (archive) files into zip file.
- Package and compress files and directories [r]ecursively:
`zip -r {{compressed.zip}} {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory1}} {{path/to/directory2}}`
- E[x]clude unwanted files from being added to the compressed archive:
`zip -r {{compressed.zip}} {{path/to/directory}} -x {{path/to/exclude}}`
- Archive a directory and its contents with the highest level [9] of compression:
`zip -r -{{9}} {{compressed.zip}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Create an encrypted archive (user will be prompted for a password):
`zip -e -r {{compressed.zip}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- Add files to an existing zip file:
`zip {{compressed.zip}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Delete files from an existing zip file:
`zip -d {{compressed.zip}} "{{foo/*.tmp}}"`
- Archive a directory and its contents to a multi-part [s]plit zip file (e.g. 3 GB parts):
`zip -r -s {{3g}} {{compressed.zip}} {{path/to/directory}}`
- List files within a specified archive (without extracting them):
`zip -sf {{compressed.zip}}`
