Lol
if you ls /tmp and 1 second later you ls again, you might have different result ... or even if the same count of file, the files present may not be the same.
tmp is for temporary stuff so things can be created an deleted from there.
What goal are you trying to achieve ?

zipnote
zipnote(1) General Commands Manual zipnote(1)
NAME
zipnote - write the comments in zipfile to stdout, edit comments and rename files in zipfile
SYNOPSIS
zipnote [-w] [-b path] [-h] [-v] [-L] zipfile
ARGUMENTS
zipfile Zipfile to read comments from or edit.
OPTIONS
-w Write comments to a zipfile from stdin (see below).
-b path
Use path for the temporary zip file.
-h Show a short help.
-v Show version information.
-L Show software license.
DESCRIPTION
zipnote writes the comments in a zipfile to stdout. This is the default mode. A second mode allows updating the comments in a zipfile as
well as allows changing the names of the files in the zipfile. These modes are described below.
EXAMPLES
To write all comments in a zipfile to stdout use for example
zipnote foo.zip > foo.tmp
This writes all comments in the zipfile foo.zip to the file foo.tmp in a specific format.
If desired, this file can then be edited to change the comments and then used to update the zipfile.
zipnote -w foo.zip < foo.tmp
The names of the files in the zipfile can also be changed in this way. This is done by following lines like
"@ name"
in the created temporary file (called foo.tmp here) with lines like
"@=newname"
and then using the -w option as above.
BUGS
The temporary file format is rather specific and zipnote is rather picky about it. It should be easier to change file names in a script.
Does not yet support large (> 2 GB) or split archives.
