How To Install zziplib on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install zziplib on CentOS 8.
What is zziplib
The zziplib library is intentionally lightweight, it offers the ability to easily extract data from files archived in a single zip file. Applications can bundle files into a single zip archive and access them. The implementation is based only on the (free) subset of compression with the zlib algorithm which is actually used by the zip/unzip tools. zziplib 0.13.68 8.el8 x86_64 91 k zziplib-0.13.68-8.el8.src.rpm appstream Lightweight library to easily extract data from zip files http LGPLv2+ or MPLv1.1 The zziplib library is intentionally lightweight, it offers the ability to easily extract data from files archived in a single zip file.
