# unzip(zipfile,dest)

Uses standard ZIP to unpack zip bundles.

### Syntax

o_unzip(zipfile,dest)
  zipfile: scalar Text - zip file that is to be unpacked
  dest: scalar Text - directory into which the zip file should be unpacked
  return: none

### Usage

This uses the standard ZIP specification to unpack a zip file into the contained set of files and directories into a single package. Zip is a long time industry standard and is universally available.

### Location

menu: veeos ==> system ==> unzip

library: sysLib

### Example

o_unzip("C:\temp\veebackups.zip" , "C:\temp\" ) unpacks all of veebackups.zip into the directory C:\temp.

### Notes

This function uses the present working directory as a reference so absolute paths are generally needed. Note that as with any unpackaging it is possible for this to inadvertently overwrite existing files. Hence be careful what you specify.

### Reference

- ZIP specification

### Supported On

VEE 7.0+, Windows XP+
