I am having trouble quietly zipping a large zip file which needs fixing.
I have a large zip file that needs fixing so I can use -FF flag:
zip -FF TEST.zip --out TEST_fixed.zip
If I want to suppress the print statements I can add the -q flag
zip -q -FF TEST.zip --out TEST_fixed_quiet.zip
But the resulting file is empty:
$ unzip -q TEST_fixed_quiet.zip
warning [TEST_fixed_quiet.zip]: zipfile is empty
This is not the expected behavior for the -FF flag. Zipping TEST.zip with -FF and without -q yields the correct non-empty archive. Zipping TEST.zip with -F and -q yields the correct non-empty archive.
So how can I zip a file quietly with the -FF flag and without destroying it in the process?
