Return code to error

Shell Programming and Scripting

Not sure how to force the error while unzipping the file to fail.
I tried below and it doesnt work

@Siva2023 , your question is confusing imo.

unzipping a file does not cause anything to be removed per-se but you may be prompted by zip if you want to replace/ignore etc.
be concise - show outputs and EXPECTED result of any/all commands.

statements like 'I tried below and it doesn't work' is pretty useless without showning the actual commands being run

the 'print' command (if existing) is typically for sending a file to a printer , you are probably looking for the printf shell command

for example

#
# below i've created a directory with no write permission
#
unzip myzip.zip || printf "%d - could not unzip\n" $?
Archive:  myzip.zip
error:  cannot create center.css
        Permission denied
error:  cannot create test.html
        Permission denied
error:  cannot create title
        Permission denied
50 - could not unzip

You may be out of disk space while unzipping happened. IMHO.

@dextergenious, as @Siva2023 has now edited their initial post and not shown outputs I think we can safely assume they've resolved their challenge.

As an aside, below is what would typically happen if running out of space whilst unzipping
