Question

I downloaded a document, which is compressed as zip file and segmented, their names are :

document.z01 document.z02 document.zip

I'm at a loss on how to unzip them.

First you have to concatenate all the files into a single file, and then extract the single file.

zip -F document.zip --output big_document.zip
unzip big_document.zip

So the first thing is to concatenate, `cat *.zip > document.zip`, right? Then, what is the purpose of the first `zip -F ...` command in your answer? Why not just `unzip document.zip`? – a06e May 11 '21 at 11:00
@becko This is for multi-part zip. – Ricardo Magalhães Cruz Feb 25 '23 at 09:22
