How about 7z? How do 7z, zip, and tar compare in terms of support for Unixy things like permissions, uid/gid, xattrs, and so on?

- chungy 8y ago7z only supports DOS-style attributes, while Zip supports the full host of Unix metadata like tar does.
- jabl 8y agoIIRC the unix metadata is not part of the canonical zip format, but rather an extension introduced by (?) infozip, an implementation of zip for Unix systems (if you use the zip/unzip cli tools on a Unix style system, it's most likely infozip).
