Class ZipOutputStream

This is a DeflaterOutputStream that writes the files into a zip archive one after another. It has a special method to start a new zip entry. The zip entries contains information about the file name size, compressed size, CRC, etc.

It includes support for Stored and Deflated entries. This class is not thread safe.

Examples

This sample shows how to create a zip file

using System;
using System.IO;

using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Core;
using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip;

class MainClass
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(args[0]);
        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];

        using ( ZipOutputStream s = new ZipOutputStream(File.Create(args[1])) ) {

            s.SetLevel(9); // 0 - store only to 9 - means best compression

            foreach (string file in filenames) {
                ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(file);
                s.PutNextEntry(entry);

                using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(file)) {
                    StreamUtils.Copy(fs, s, buffer);
                }
            }

Constructors

ZipOutputStream(Stream)

Creates a new Zip output stream, writing a zip archive.

Declaration

public ZipOutputStream(Stream baseOutputStream)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IO.Stream	baseOutputStream	The output stream to which the archive contents are written.

| Improve this Doc View Source

ZipOutputStream(Stream, Int32)

Creates a new Zip output stream, writing a zip archive.

Declaration

public ZipOutputStream(Stream baseOutputStream, int bufferSize)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.IO.Stream	baseOutputStream	The output stream to which the archive contents are written.
System.Int32	bufferSize	Size of the buffer to use.

Properties

IsFinished

Gets a flag value of true if the central header has been added for this archive; false if it has not been added.

Declaration

public bool IsFinished { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

Remarks

No further entries can be added once this has been done.

| Improve this Doc View Source

NameTransform

Used for transforming the names of entries added by PutNextEntry(ZipEntry). Defaults to PathTransformer, set to null to disable transforms and use names as supplied.

Declaration

public INameTransform NameTransform { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
INameTransform

Password

Get/set the password used for encryption.

Declaration

public string Password { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.String

Remarks

When set to null or if the password is empty no encryption is performed

| Improve this Doc View Source

UseZip64

Get / set a value indicating how Zip64 Extension usage is determined when adding entries.

Declaration

public UseZip64 UseZip64 { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
UseZip64

Remarks

Older archivers may not understand Zip64 extensions. If backwards compatability is an issue be careful when adding entries to an archive. Setting this property to off is workable but less desirable as in those circumstances adding a file larger then 4GB will fail.

Finish()

Finishes the stream. This will write the central directory at the end of the zip file and flush the stream.

Declaration

public override void Finish()

Overrides

DeflaterOutputStream.Finish()

Remarks

This is automatically called when the stream is closed.

Exceptions

Overrides

DeflaterOutputStream.Flush()

PutNextEntry(ZipEntry)

Starts a new Zip entry. It automatically closes the previous entry if present. All entry elements bar name are optional, but must be correct if present. If the compression method is stored and the output is not patchable the compression for that entry is automatically changed to deflate level 0

Declaration

public void PutNextEntry(ZipEntry entry)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ZipEntry	entry	the entry.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentNullException	if entry passed is null.
System.IO.IOException	if an I/O error occurred.
System.InvalidOperationException	if stream was finished
ZipException	Too many entries in the Zip file Entry name is too long Finish has already been called
System.NotImplementedException	The Compression method specified for the entry is unsupported.

PutNextPassthroughEntry(ZipEntry)

Starts a new passthrough Zip entry. It automatically closes the previous entry if present. Passthrough entry is an entry that is created from compressed data. It is useful to avoid recompression to save CPU resources if compressed data is already disposable. All entry elements bar name, crc, size and compressed size are optional, but must be correct if present. Compression should be set to Deflated.

Declaration

public void PutNextPassthroughEntry(ZipEntry entry)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ZipEntry	entry	the entry.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentNullException	if entry passed is null.
System.IO.IOException	if an I/O error occurred.
System.InvalidOperationException	if stream was finished.
ZipException	Crc is not set Size is not set CompressedSize is not set CompressionMethod is not Deflate Too many entries in the Zip file Entry name is too long Finish has already been called
System.NotImplementedException	The Compression method specified for the entry is unsupported Entry is encrypted

SetComment(String)

Set the zip file comment.

Declaration

public void SetComment(string comment)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	comment	The comment text for the entire archive.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The converted comment is longer than 0xffff bytes.

SetLevel(Int32)

Sets the compression level. The new level will be activated immediately.

Declaration

public void SetLevel(int level)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Int32	level	The new compression level (1 to 9).

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	Level specified is not supported.

Writes the given buffer to the current entry.

Declaration

public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	buffer	The buffer containing data to write.

System.Int32	count	The number of bytes to write.

Overrides

DeflaterOutputStream.Write(Byte[], Int32, Int32)
