Command-Line Interface
----------------------
The :mod:`zipfile` module provides a simple command-line interface to interact
with ZIP archives.
If you want to create a new ZIP archive, specify its name after the :option:`-c`
option and then list the filename(s) that should be included:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python -m zipfile -c monty.zip spam.txt eggs.txt
Passing a directory is also acceptable:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python -m zipfile -c monty.zip life-of-brian_1979/
If you want to extract a ZIP archive into the specified directory, use
the :option:`-e` option:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python -m zipfile -e monty.zip target-dir/
For a list of the files in a ZIP archive, use the :option:`-l` option:
.. code-block:: shell-session
$ python -m zipfile -l monty.zip
Command-line options
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. cmdoption:: -l <zipfile>

.. cmdoption:: -e <zipfile> <output_dir>
