Zip & Unzip Commands In Linux/Unix

-
zip and unzip is a compression and file packaging utility for Linux, Unix, Windows & Mac OS X. Its useful for packaging/compressing a set of normal files, one or more compressed files into a single zip archive, along with information about the files (name, path, date, time of last modification, protection, and check information to verify file integrity) and stores in a single zip file.
This save disk space by temporarily compressing unused files or directories. It will automatically uses the Zip64 extensions when files larger than 4 GB are added to an archive, or when the number of

Run the following commands to install zip & unzip utilities in Linux.
For Debian/Ubuntu/Mint: Use APT Package Manager to install zip & unzip.
$ sudo apt install zip unzip

For CentOS/RHEL: Use YUM Package Manager to install zip & unzip.
$ sudo yum install zip unzip

For Fedora: Use DNF Package Manager to install zip & unzip.
$ sudo dnf install zip unzip

For openSUSE: Use zypper Package Manager to install zip & unzip.
$ sudo zypper install zip unzip

Syntax:

Common syntax for zip and unzip command.
[zip syntax]
# zip [.zip file name] [file to be compressed]

[zip (Decompress) syntax]
# zip -d [.zip file name]

[unzip syntax]
# unzip [.zip file name]

1) How to create a zip file

The below example zip/compress the test-zip.txt file into test.zip file. See the following example.
# zip test.zip test-zip.txt
  adding: test-zip.txt (stored 0%)
We are going to check whether the mentioned file was compressed or not.
# ll -h
total 48K
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root    root      31 Dec  7 09:41 s-link-file -> /links/soft-link/test-soft-link
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root    root      38 Dec  7 09:42 s-link-folder -> /links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root     200 Dec 27 11:58 test.zip
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root      26 Dec 27 11:55 test-zip.txt

2) How to View list of files in ZIP archive without extracting

The below command is help us to How to View list of files in ZIP archive without extracting.
# less test.zip
Archive:  test.zip
Zip file size: 200 bytes, number of entries: 1
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       26 tx stor 13-Dec-27 11:55 test-zip.txt
1 file, 26 bytes uncompressed, 26 bytes compressed:  0.0%

3) How to unzip/Decompress a file

Use the following unzip command and followed by zip file name to unzip/decompress the file.
# unzip test.zip
Archive:  test.zip
replace test-zip.txt? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
 extracting: test-zip.txt
The above output asking the question while unzip the file since the source file test-zip.txt in the same location.

4) How to zip/compress a folder

The below example zip/compress the link folder to test1.zip file. 

# zip test1.zip links
  adding: links/ (stored 0%)

Output:

# ll -h
total 56K
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root      26 Dec 27 12:25 liks
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root    root      31 Dec  7 09:41 s-link-file -> /links/soft-link/test-soft-link
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root    root      38 Dec  7 09:42 s-link-folder -> /links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root     162 Dec 27 12:29 test1.zip
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root     200 Dec 27 11:58 test.zip
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root      26 Dec 27 11:55 test-zip.txt
You can re check whether the link folder is there in the zip archive or not by using less command.
# less test1.zip
Archive:  test1.zip
Zip file size: 162 bytes, number of entries: 1
drwxr-xr-x  3.0 unx        0 bx stor 13-Dec-27 12:26 links/
1 file, 0 bytes uncompressed, 0 bytes compressed:  0.0%
The output shows only one file because it doesn’t compress the file/folders recursively.

5) How to zip a file/folder recursively

The below example zip/compress the link folder recursively into test2.zip file. 

# zip -r test2.zip links
  adding: links/ (stored 0%)
  adding: links/soft-link/ (stored 0%)
  adding: links/soft-link/test-soft-link (stored 0%)
  adding: links/soft-link/test-zip.txt (stored 0%)
  adding: links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder/ (stored 0%)
  adding: links/test-zip.txt (stored 0%)
The above output clearly says that it compressed files and folders recursively.
Once again you can cross check the compressed file contents without extracting.
# less test2.zip
Archive:  test2.zip
Zip file size: 1130 bytes, number of entries: 6
drwxr-xr-x  3.0 unx        0 bx stor 13-Dec-27 12:26 links/
drwxr-xr-x  3.0 unx        0 bx stor 13-Dec-27 12:27 links/soft-link/
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       16 tx stor 13-Dec-07 09:38 links/soft-link/test-soft-link
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       26 tx stor 13-Dec-27 12:27 links/soft-link/test-zip.txt
drwxr-xr-x  3.0 unx        0 bx stor 13-Dec-07 09:39 links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder/
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       26 tx stor 13-Dec-27 12:26 links/test-zip.txt
6 files, 68 bytes uncompressed, 68 bytes compressed:  0.0%
The output clearly shows the file and folders recursively compressed.

6) How to zip a file from different location

The below example zip/compress a test1-zip.txt, test2-zip.txt and soft-link folder recursively into test3.zip file.
# zip -r test3.zip test1-zip.txt test2-zip.txt /home/mageshm/links/soft-link
  adding: test1-zip.txt (stored 0%)
  adding: test2-zip.txt (stored 0%)
  adding: home/mageshm/links/soft-link/ (stored 0%)
  adding: home/mageshm/links/soft-link/test-soft-link (stored 0%)
  adding: home/mageshm/links/soft-link/test-zip.txt (stored 0%)
  adding: home/mageshm/links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder/ (stored 0%)
Once again confirm whether the file compressed or not.
# ll -h
total 68K
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root      26 Dec 27 12:25 liks
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root    root      31 Dec  7 09:41 s-link-file -> /links/soft-link/test-soft-link
lrwxrwxrwx.  1 root    root      38 Dec  7 09:42 s-link-folder -> /links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root     162 Dec 27 12:29 test1.zip
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root      26 Dec 27 11:55 test1-zip.txt
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root    1.2K Dec 27 12:37 test2.zip
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root      26 Dec 27 12:43 test2-zip.txt
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root    1.3K Dec 27 12:53 test3.zip
-rw-r--r--.  1 root    root     200 Dec 27 11:58 test.zip

 Cross check once the zip/compressed file contents without extracting
# less test3.zip
Archive:  test3.zip
Zip file size: 1264 bytes, number of entries: 6
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       26 tx stor 13-Dec-27 11:55 test1-zip.txt
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       26 tx stor 13-Dec-27 12:43 test2-zip.txt
drwxr-xr-x  3.0 unx        0 bx stor 13-Dec-27 12:27 home/mageshm/links/soft-link/
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       16 tx stor 13-Dec-07 09:38 home/mageshm/links/soft-link/test-soft-link
-rw-r--r--  3.0 unx       26 tx stor 13-Dec-27 12:27 home/mageshm/links/soft-link/test-zip.txt
drwxr-xr-x  3.0 unx        0 bx stor 13-Dec-07 09:39 home/mageshm/links/soft-link/test-soft-link-folder/
6 files, 94 bytes uncompressed, 94 bytes compressed:  0.0%
The output clearly shows the mentioned two files test1-zip.txt, test2-zip.txt and soft-link folder recursively compressed

How to find the server is whether standby (slave) or primary(master) in Postgresql replication ?

-
Method 1 You can check the mode of the server using "pg_controldata". [pgsql@test~]$ pg_controldata /usr/local/pgsql/data84/ Database cluster state: in archive recovery --> This is Standby Database Database cluster state: in production --> This is Production Database [Master] Method 2 You can use pg_is_in_recovery() which returns True if recovery is still in progress(so the server is running in standby mode or slave) postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery(); pg_is_in_recovery ------------------- t (1 row) If Return    false   so the server is running in primary mode or master postgres=# select pg_is_in_recovery(); pg_is_in_recovery ------------------- f (1 row)

7 Steps to configure BDR replication in postgresql

 The  BDR  (Bi-Directional Replication) project adds multi-master replication to PostgreSQL 9.4.  Postgres-BDR has a lower impact on the masters(s) than trigger-based replication solutions. There is no write-amplification, as it does not require triggers to write to queue tables in order to replicate writes.   Here We are using  postgres version 9.4.12 and bdr version 1.0.2. for configuring  multi master replication . Simply Following 7 steps you can configure the multi master replication in postgresql.
