Linux unzip file from script without outputting the unzipped file names

  • 772

I unzipped a file from a script with "unzip filename.zip" and in the terminal I see all the unzipped file names. I would like to unzip the file without printing those names so that I have a clean terminal interface.

scripts command-line zip unzip

    From the MODIFIERS section of man unzip:

    -q     perform  operations  quietly  (-qq  = even quieter).  Ordinarily
       unzip prints the names of the files it's extracting or  testing,
       the extraction methods, any file or zipfile comments that may be
       stored in the archive, and possibly a summary when finished with
       each  archive.   The -q[q] options suppress the printing of some
       or all of these messages.

    So

    unzip -q filename.zip
