How can I create a zip archive without a file extension using the "zip" command?

The -A (--adjust-sfx) option causes zip to treat the given archive name as-is:

zip -Ar archive directory/

This works even when archive isn’t created as a self-extracting archive.


You can have it provide the zip output to stdout and then redirect it to a file:

zip -r - -- directory/ > archive

The first dash refers to stdout and the pair of dashes separates the initial arguments from the input list, for clarity.
