Zipc can be installed with opam:

The documentation can be consulted online or via odig doc zipc.

Questions are welcome but better asked on the OCaml forum than on the issue tracker.

Examples

The zipc tool operates on ZIP archives with the library.

See also the examples from the quick start and js_of_ocaml examples in test.

Acknowledgments

A grant from the OCaml Software Foundation helped to bring the first public release of zipc.

The deflate compressor and general information about ZIP files benefited from Hans Wennborg's thorough article about Zip files. The deflate decompressor implementation started as a port of Joergen Ibsen's tinf library.
