Are there any free command line based zip utility?

"For the record, '-v' option in 7-zip command line is used for creating volumes.
Here is a short description on Creating Multi-volume Archives with 7-zip.

Can you please explain what you mean by
""7Zip is disqualified, the -v parameter is not implemented yet""?"

Well for linux you can tar and gz zip folders via command line, but i'm going to assume your on windows?

"After spending some time with the problem myself it turns out that having a .7z as part of your archive name will be the problem.

When creating volumes 7Zip will name them .001, .002, etc. and already naming your archive as .7z seems to cause it a bit of a headache.

It's a very poor error message, but a simple solution."

After windows 10 Creators update (build 1803) comes with some linux tools, one of them is tar which you can easily use in your batch files.
