A

Opt

Overwrite existing files.

N = Never (unzip -n)

U = Only if newer (unzip -uo)

Y = Always (unzip -o)

Default is Y.

Note: When using option U, be careful of unzipping in one time zone a zip file created in another -- ZIP archives other than those created the BIF ZIP_ADD (or Zip 2.1 or later) contain no time zone information, and a 'newer' file from an eastern time zone may, in fact, be older.
