stdin into zip command, how do I specify a file name? [duplicate]
What you can do is pipe the file in normally, then rename it in the zip
echo 'foo bar' | zip > file.zipprintf "@ -\n@=filename.txt\n" | zipnote -w file.zip
Use a fifo (a named pipe) instead of piping stdin directly!
mkfifo text.txt # create fifoecho 'foo bar' > text.txt & # pipe data to fifo, in backgroundzip --fifo file.zip text.txt # note the `--fifo` argument to ziprm text.txt # cleanupResult:
$ unzip -l file.zipArchive: file.zipLength Date Time Name--------- ---------- ----- ----8 2020-11-29 12:30 text.txt--------- -------8 1 fileNote that the fifo is a named pipe. Just like the anonymous pipe - the famous | - no data is stored on your hard drive, it is streamed directly from writer to reader.
