Is it possible to unzip a compressed file with multiple threads? [closed]

Tags:

bash

unzip

I unzip using this :

unzip -q "file.zip" -d path

How can I unzip faster with utilizing multiple cores and threads?

Thanks

In short: No, unzipping with multiple cores is not available.

The decompression normally has lower CPU-intensity than the compression (where multiple cores are often involved).

You wouldn't have much of an advantage anyway as the read/write-operations are more of the bottlenecks during decompression.
