Preserve file permissions when unzipping

[AnHeuermann]

Hey,

I'm using ZipFile.jl to unzip some files on a Linux system. Is it possible to preserve the permissions of the original files?
I can't find permissions in ZipFile.ReadableFile and therefore when writing the files I don't know which files need only read/write permissions and which additional execute permissions.

I guess one would need to add something to ZipFile.ReadableFile and get the mode from zlib. But I'm note sure if zlib offers a function to do that.

How to reproduce

Create a zip file

$ mkdir myZip
$ touch myZip/script.sh
$ chmod +rwx myZip/script.sh
$ ls -la myZip/script.sh 
-rwxrwxr-x 1 username groupname 0 Aug  1 16:33 myZip/script.sh
$ zip myZip -r
$ zip -r myZip.zip myZip/

unzip preserves permissions

$ unzip myZip.zip -d unzipped/
$ ls -la unzipped/myZip/script.sh 
-rwxrwxr-x 1 username groupname 0 Aug  1 16:33 unzipped/myZip/script.sh

Where could I find file permissions

julia> using ZipFile
julia> archive = ZipFile.Reader("myZip.zip")
ZipFile.Reader for IOStream(<file myZip.zip>) containing 2 files:

uncompressedsize method  mtime            name
----------------------------------------------
               0 Store   2022-08-01 16-33 myZip/
               0 Store   2022-08-01 16-33 myZip/script.sh
julia> archive.files[2]
ZipFile.ReadableFile(name=myZip/script.sh, method=Store, uncompresssedsize=0, compressedsize=0, mtime=1.659364424e9)

Unfortunately, the official zip file spec doesn't directly mention a cross-platform way to specify a file is executable, so this might be tricky to do. Zip files contain a 32-bit external file attributes field for each file, but this field differs for each OS.

ZipFile.jl/src/ZipFile.jl

Line 358 in a599b0a

skip(io, 2+2+4)

and

ZipFile.jl/src/ZipFile.jl

Line 343 in a599b0a

skip(io, 2+2)

seem to be where the fields are that might specify file permissions and OS. They are currently ignored. If the version made is UNIX, I found this link https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/14705/the-zip-formats-external-file-attribute that describes how to read the permissions.
