usage

1. Pack and compress all files in the /home/data directory into data.zip in the current directory

zip -q -r data.zip /home/data

2. If it is now in the /home directory, it is as follows

zip -q -r data.zip data

3. If it is in the /home/data directory, it is as follows

zip -q -r data.zip *

 

The above three effects are the same.
