I'm trying to create an encrypted¹ zip archive using bsdtar. Here's where I got stuck:
bsdtar -c --options='zip:encryption' --passphrase "secret" -f test.zip test
This is the error I get:
bsdtar: Unknown module name: `zip'
How do I get around this error to create an encrypted zip archive?
I'm on Arch Linux 5.8.14 using bsdtar 3.4.3.
¹I know that password-protected zip files aren't very secure: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/35818/are-password-protected-zip-files-secure
