I would like to make a ZIP file using zip
command. Zip file would contain large number of directories containing large numbers of subdirectories, files etc.
Is there any way to calculate final size of ZIP file, but before doing actual zipping on the disk?
For example: Calculating final ZIP file size to determine if ZIP will fit into specific size container (we cannot perform on disk operation even in tmp, because if it will not fit, then zipping will fail without giving info on archive size)
linux zip compression gzip archive
