Zip unix multiple files

After creating a zip file, you can remove a file from the archive using the -d option. Suppose we have following files in my current directory are listed below: hello1. This option can be used to update the specified list of files or add new files to the existing zip file. Update an existing entry in the zip archive only if it has been modified more recently than the version already in the zip archive.

If a directory becomes empty after removal of the files, the directory is also removed. No deletions are done until zip has created the archive without error. This is useful for conserving disk space, but is potentially dangerous removing all input files.
