While trying to see the content of a zipped file, I only get information about the zipping process












5















In Ubuntu installed on Windows Subsystem for Linux, I want to see the content of a zip file, using gzip --list.



I expected to see a list of included files like this:

FileName ratio

File1 10%

File2 35%

...



Instead I just see some information on the compression of the zip file:



 gzip --list "2019_02_04 05_01_24_Internal_File_2019_02_04 06_00_02.zip"
compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name
38994 -1 0.0% 2019_02_04 05_01_24_Internal_File_2019_02_04 06_00_02.zip


How do I obtain a list of the files archived into that zip file?
