Unzipping files in unattended mode

zip

When I use the unzip command from Linux machine and the files under ZIP already exists on my local directory, I get the interactive question: (if I want to replace the files from the ZIP with the existing files on my Linux machine

How to use the unzip command without this interactive question?

 [@superuser]# ls -ltr

 total 0
 -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Nov 15 15:13 all_my_files1
 -rw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Nov 15 15:13 all_my_files2

[@superuser]# unzip MY_FILES.zip

    Archive:  MY_FILES.zip
    replace all_my_files1.txt? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: A
        inflating: all_my_files1.txt  
        inflating: all_my_files2.txt

As the unzip(1l) man page states, pass -o to unzip in order to force overwriting of existing files without prompting.
