inspect .zip contents from command line

If you are browsing around in a terminal and want to see the contents of a .zip file, unzip is able to just list the contents but not actually extract them:

unzip -l myarchive.zip

Alternatively, if you want to open a .zip file in a GUI window to browse it’s contents do this:

file-roller myarchive.zip

It will open up Archive Manager to look at the contents.
