<DL>
<DT><A name="disable_base_archive"></A>dash (-)</DT>
<DD><P>Disables any updates in the base archive.</P>
<P>The term <B>base archive</B> means the archive assigned by "base_archive_name"

for more details.</P>
</DD>
<DT><A name="new_archive_name"></A>{new_archive_name}</DT>
<DD><P>Specifies the path name of the new archive to be created.

refer to the base archive of the command.</P>
</DD>
<DT><A name="state"></A><state></DT>
<DD><P>Specifies the state of a particular file to be processed.</P>
<PRE class="syntax"><state> ::= p | q | r | x | y | z | w</PRE>

<H4>Remarks</H4>
<P>Any update command (such as <A href="../commands/add.htm">a (Add)</A>,
<A href="../commands/delete.htm">d (Delete)</A>,
<A href="../commands/update.htm">u (Update)</A>) can be assigned in these terms.</P>
<P>The following table shows action sets for update commands.</P>
<TABLE>
<TR> <TH>command \ <A class="parameter" href="#state"><state></A></TH>

</TABLE>
<P>If you don't specify a
<A class="parameter" href="#new_archive_name"><I>!{new_archive_name}</I></A> option, then
all options will refer to the main archive (the archive assigned on the command line after the 7z command).
If you specify <A class="parameter" href="#new_archive_name"><I>!{new_archive_name}</I></A>
option, then 7-Zip also will create a new archive with the specified name and all options
will refer to that new archive.</P>
<P>Multiple update switches are supported.
7-Zip can create any number of new archives during one operation.</P>
<P>By default, the action set for each new archive is assigned
as the action set of the main command. There are 3 different
action sets for commands: <A href="../commands/add.htm">a (Add)</A>,
<A href="../commands/delete.htm">d (Delete)</A>,
<A href="../commands/update.htm">u (Update)</A>.
You can overload any <state_action> pair.</P>
<H4>Time zone notes</H4>
<P>If you change time zone (when you move your computer to another time zone
or if there are clock changes for daylight saving in your zone), you can have some problems
with update commands that depend from file's modification time. It's strongly recommended to use only
file system that uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and archive format that also uses UTC.
In that case you will have no problems with time zone changes.
Also it's recommended to use only UTC formats in other cases, for example, if you send files to
someone in another time zone.</P>
<P>Also in some cases there are no problems, if both file system and archive format use local time, for example, FAT file system and ZIP format.</P>
<UL>
<LI>UTC file systems: NTFS
<LI>UTC archive formats: .zip with -mtc switch, 7z, tar, gzip2, iso, wim
<LI>Local time file systems : FAT, FAT32
<LI>Local time archive formats : rar, zip, cab
</UL>
<H4>Examples</H4>
<PRE class="example">
7z u c:\1\exist.7z -u- -up0q3x2z0!c:\1\update.7z *
</PRE>
<P>creates a new archive <SPAN class="filename">update.7z</SPAN> and
writes to this archive all files from current directory which differ from
files in <SPAN class="filename">exist.7z</SPAN> archive.
<SPAN class="filename">exist.7z</SPAN> archive will not be changed.</P>
<PRE class="example">
7z u c:\1\exist.7z -up0q3x2z0!c:\1\update.7z * -ms=off
</PRE>
<P>creates a new archive <SPAN class="filename">update.7z</SPAN> and
writes to this archive all files from the current directory which differ from
files in <SPAN class="filename">exist.7z</SPAN> archive.
<P>Note: the updating of solid .7z archives can be slow, since it
can require some recompression.</P>
