Description : FUSE file system for ZIP archives (read-only)
This package provides an alternative to fuse-zip. Compared to fuse-zip, it
seams reading performance is improved, but write mode was dropped.
Version 1.0.0 was forked from fuse-zip 0.7.2
mount-zip is a tool allowing to open, explore and extract ZIP archives.
mount-zip mounts a ZIP archive as a read-only FUSE file system, which can then
be explored and read by any application.
mount-zip aspires to be an excellent ZIP mounter. It starts quickly, uses
little memory, decodes encrypted files, and provides on-the-go decompression
and caching for maximum efficiency.
The mount point should be an empty directory. If the mount point doesn't exist
yet, mount-zip creates it first. If no mount point is provided, mount-zip
creates one in the same directory as the ZIP archive.

This can be useful when short on space and we don't want to unzip the file but
still access its content on the fly, for example on gitlab ci runners, or any
docker/CI instance.
