## Class ZipArchiveOutputStream

- java.lang.Object
- - java.io.OutputStream
  - - org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ArchiveOutputStream
    - - org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipArchiveOutputStream

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Closeable, Flushable, AutoCloseable
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    JarArchiveOutputStream

      public class ZipArchiveOutputStream
      extends ArchiveOutputStream

  Reimplementation of `java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream` that does handle the extended functionality of this package, especially internal/external file attributes and extra fields with different layouts for local file data and central directory entries.

  This class will try to use `SeekableByteChannel` when it knows that the output is going to go to a file.

  If SeekableByteChannel cannot be used, this implementation will use a Data Descriptor to store size and CRC information for `DEFLATED` entries, this means, you don't need to calculate them yourself. Unfortunately this is not possible for the `STORED` method, here setting the CRC and uncompressed size information is required before `putArchiveEntry(ArchiveEntry)` can be called.

  As of Apache Commons Compress 1.3 it transparently supports Zip64 extensions and thus individual entries and archives larger than 4 GB or with more than 65536 entries in most cases but explicit control is provided via `setUseZip64(org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.Zip64Mode)`. If the stream can not use SeekableByteChannel and you try to write a ZipArchiveEntry of unknown size then Zip64 extensions will be disabled by default.

  This class is not thread-safe

    - #### isSeekable

          public boolean isSeekable()

      This method indicates whether this archive is writing to a seekable stream (i.e., to a random access file).

      For seekable streams, you don't need to calculate the CRC or uncompressed size for `STORED` entries before invoking `putArchiveEntry(ArchiveEntry)`.

      Returns:
        true if seekable

    - #### setEncoding

          public void setEncoding(String encoding)

      The encoding to use for filenames and the file comment.

      For a list of possible values see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html. Defaults to UTF-8.

      Parameters:
        `encoding` - the encoding to use for file names, use null for the platform's default encoding

    - #### getEncoding

          public String getEncoding()

      The encoding to use for filenames and the file comment.
      Returns:
        null if using the platform's default character encoding.

    - #### setUseLanguageEncodingFlag

          public void setUseLanguageEncodingFlag(boolean b)

      Whether to set the language encoding flag if the file name encoding is UTF-8.

      Defaults to true.

      Parameters:
        `b` - whether to set the language encoding flag if the file name encoding is UTF-8

    - #### setCreateUnicodeExtraFields

          public void setCreateUnicodeExtraFields(ZipArchiveOutputStream.UnicodeExtraFieldPolicy b)

      Whether to create Unicode Extra Fields.

      Defaults to NEVER.

      Parameters:
        `b` - whether to create Unicode Extra Fields.

    - #### setFallbackToUTF8

          public void setFallbackToUTF8(boolean b)

      Whether to fall back to UTF and the language encoding flag if the file name cannot be encoded using the specified encoding.

      Defaults to false.

      Parameters:
        `b` - whether to fall back to UTF and the language encoding flag if the file name cannot be encoded using the specified encoding.

    - #### setUseZip64

          public void setUseZip64(Zip64Mode mode)

      Whether Zip64 extensions will be used.

      When setting the mode to `Never`, `putArchiveEntry(org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ArchiveEntry)`, `closeArchiveEntry()`, `finish()` or `close()` may throw a `Zip64RequiredException` if the entry's size or the total size of the archive exceeds 4GB or there are more than 65536 entries inside the archive. Any archive created in this mode will be readable by implementations that don't support Zip64.

      When setting the mode to `Always`, Zip64 extensions will be used for all entries. Any archive created in this mode may be unreadable by implementations that don't support Zip64 even if all its contents would be.

      When setting the mode to `AsNeeded`, Zip64 extensions will transparently be used for those entries that require them. This mode can only be used if the uncompressed size of the `ZipArchiveEntry` is known when calling `putArchiveEntry(org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ArchiveEntry)` or the archive is written to a seekable output (i.e. you have used the `File-arg constructor`) - this mode is not valid when the output stream is not seekable and the uncompressed size is unknown when `putArchiveEntry(org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ArchiveEntry)` is called.

      If no entry inside the resulting archive requires Zip64 extensions then `Never` will create the smallest archive. `AsNeeded` will create a slightly bigger archive if the uncompressed size of any entry has initially been unknown and create an archive identical to `Never` otherwise. `Always` will create an archive that is at least 24 bytes per entry bigger than the one `Never` would create.

      Defaults to `AsNeeded` unless `putArchiveEntry(org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.ArchiveEntry)` is called with an entry of unknown size and data is written to a non-seekable stream - in this case the default is `Never`.

      Parameters:
        `mode` - Whether Zip64 extensions will be used.
      Since:
        1.3

          public void finish()
                      throws IOException

      Throws:
        `Zip64RequiredException` - if the archive's size exceeds 4 GByte or there are more than 65535 entries inside the archive and `setUseZip64(org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.Zip64Mode)` is `Zip64Mode.Never`.
        `IOException` - if the user forgets to close the entry.

      Adds an archive entry with a raw input stream. If crc, size and compressed size are supplied on the entry, these values will be used as-is. Zip64 status is re-established based on the settings in this stream, and the supplied value is ignored. The entry is put and closed immediately.
      Parameters:
        `entry` - The archive entry to add
        `rawStream` - The raw input stream of a different entry. May be compressed/encrypted.
