.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides a Perl interface that allows writing zip
compressed data to files or buffer.
.PP
The primary purpose of this module is to provide streaming write access to
zip files and buffers. It is not a general-purpose file archiver. If that
is what you want, check out \f(CW\*(C`Archive::Zip\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`Archive::Zip::SimpleZip\*(C'\fR.
.PP
At present three compression methods are supported by IO::Compress::Zip,
namely Store (no compression at all), Deflate, Bzip2 and \s-1LZMA\s0.
.PP
Note that to create Bzip2 content, the module \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Bzip2\*(C'\fR must
be installed.
.PP
Note that to create \s-1LZMA\s0 content, the module \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Lzma\*(C'\fR must
be installed.
.PP
For reading zip files/buffers, see the companion module
IO::Uncompress::Unzip.
.SH "Functional Interface"
.IX Header "Functional Interface"
A top-level function, \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR, is provided to carry out
\&\*(L"one-shot\*(R" compression between buffers and/or files. For finer
control over the compression process, see the \*(L"\s-1OO\s0 Interface\*(R"
section.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use IO::Compress::Zip qw(zip $ZipError) ;
\&
\& zip $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [,OPTS]
\& or die "zip failed: $ZipError\en";
.Ve
.PP
The functional interface needs Perl5.005 or better.
.ie n .SS "zip $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, \s-1OPTS\s0]"
.el .SS "zip \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fP => \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fP [, \s-1OPTS\s0]"
.IX Subsection "zip $input_filename_or_reference => $output_filename_or_reference [, OPTS]"
\&\f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR expects at least two parameters,
\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR and \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR.
.PP
\fIThe \f(CI$input_filename_or_reference\fI parameter\fR
.IX Subsection "The $input_filename_or_reference parameter"
.PP
The parameter, \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR, is used to define the
source of the uncompressed data.
.PP
It can take one of the following forms:
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the <$input_filename_or_reference> parameter is a simple scalar, it is
assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for reading and the
input data will be read from it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the input
data will be read from it. The string '\-' can be used as an alias for
standard input.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the input data
will be read from \f(CW$$input_filename_or_reference\fR.
.IP "An array reference" 5
.IX Item "An array reference"
If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference, each element in
the array must be a filename.
.Sp
The input data will be read from each file in turn.
.Sp
The complete array will be walked to ensure that it only
contains valid filenames before any data is compressed.
.IP "An Input FileGlob string" 5
.IX Item "An Input FileGlob string"
If \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
characters \*(L"<\*(R" and \*(L">\*(R" \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
\&\fIinput fileglob string\fR. The input is the list of files that match the
fileglob.
.Sp
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
.PP
If the \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
.PP
In addition, if \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR is a simple filename,
the default values for
the \f(CW\*(C`Name\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Time\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TextFlag\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ExtAttr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`exUnixN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`exTime\*(C'\fR options will be sourced from that file.
.PP
If you do not want to use these defaults they can be overridden by
explicitly setting the \f(CW\*(C`Name\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Time\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`TextFlag\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ExtAttr\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`exUnixN\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`exTime\*(C'\fR options or by setting the
\&\f(CW\*(C`Minimal\*(C'\fR parameter.
.PP
\fIThe \f(CI$output_filename_or_reference\fI parameter\fR
.IX Subsection "The $output_filename_or_reference parameter"
.PP
The parameter \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is used to control the
destination of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of
these forms.
.IP "A filename" 5
.IX Item "A filename"
If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a simple scalar, it is
assumed to be a filename. This file will be opened for writing and the
compressed data will be written to it.
.IP "A filehandle" 5
.IX Item "A filehandle"
If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is a filehandle, the
compressed data will be written to it. The string '\-' can be used as
an alias for standard output.
.IP "A scalar reference" 5
.IX Item "A scalar reference"
If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a scalar reference, the
compressed data will be stored in \f(CW$$output_filename_or_reference\fR.
.IP "An Array Reference" 5
.IX Item "An Array Reference"
If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an array reference,
the compressed data will be pushed onto the array.
.IP "An Output FileGlob" 5
.IX Item "An Output FileGlob"
If \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a string that is delimited by the
characters \*(L"<\*(R" and \*(L">\*(R" \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR will assume that it is an
\&\fIoutput fileglob string\fR. The output is the list of files that match the
fileglob.
.Sp
When \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is an fileglob string,
\&\f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR must also be a fileglob string. Anything
else is an error.
.Sp
See File::GlobMapper for more details.
.PP
If the \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR parameter is any other type,
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be returned.
.SS "Notes"
.IX Subsection "Notes"
When \f(CW$input_filename_or_reference\fR maps to multiple files/buffers and
\&\f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR is a single
file/buffer the input files/buffers will each be stored
in \f(CW$output_filename_or_reference\fR as a distinct entry.
.SS "Optional Parameters"
.IX Subsection "Optional Parameters"
Unless specified below, the optional parameters for \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`OPTS\*(C'\fR, are the same as those used with the \s-1OO\s0 interface defined in the
\&\*(L"Constructor Options\*(R" section below.
.ie n .IP """AutoClose => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAutoClose => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "AutoClose => 0|1"
This option applies to any input or output data streams to
\&\f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR that are filehandles.
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR is specified, and the value is true, it will result in all
input and/or output filehandles being closed once \f(CW\*(C`zip\*(C'\fR has
completed.
.Sp
This parameter defaults to 0.
.ie n .IP """BinModeIn => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWBinModeIn => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "BinModeIn => 0|1"
This option is now a no-op. All files will be read in binmode.
.ie n .IP """Append => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWAppend => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "Append => 0|1"
The behaviour of this option is dependent on the type of output data
stream.
.RS 5
.IP "\(bu" 5
A Buffer
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, all compressed data will be append to the end of
the output buffer. Otherwise the output buffer will be cleared before any
compressed data is written to it.
.IP "\(bu" 5
A Filename
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the file will be opened in append mode. Otherwise
the contents of the file, if any, will be truncated before any compressed
data is written to it.
.IP "\(bu" 5
A Filehandle
.Sp
If \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is enabled, the filehandle will be positioned to the end of
the file via a call to \f(CW\*(C`seek\*(C'\fR before any compressed data is
written to it. Otherwise the file pointer will not be moved.
.RE
.RS 5
.Sp
When \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is specified, and set to true, it will \fIappend\fR all compressed
data to the output data stream.
.Sp
So when the output is a filehandle it will carry out a seek to the eof
before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filename, it will be opened for
appending. If the output is a buffer, all compressed data will be
appended to the existing buffer.
.Sp
Conversely when \f(CW\*(C`Append\*(C'\fR is not specified, or it is present and is set to
false, it will operate as follows.
.Sp
When the output is a filename, it will truncate the contents of the file
before writing any compressed data. If the output is a filehandle
its position will not be changed. If the output is a buffer, it will be
wiped before any compressed data is output.
.Sp
Defaults to 0.

.PP
It returns an \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Zip\*(C'\fR object on success and undef on failure.
The variable \f(CW$ZipError\fR will contain an error message on failure.
.PP
If you are running Perl 5.005 or better the object, \f(CW$z\fR, returned from
IO::Compress::Zip can be used exactly like an IO::File filehandle.
This means that all normal output file operations can be carried out
with \f(CW$z\fR.
For example, to write to a compressed file/buffer you can use either of
these forms
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $z\->print("hello world\en");
\& print $z "hello world\en";
.Ve
.PP
The mandatory parameter \f(CW$output\fR is used to control the destination
of the compressed data. This parameter can take one of these forms.

If \f(CW\*(C`Name\*(C'\fR is not specified and the \f(CW$input\fR parameter is not a filename,
no zip filename field will be created.
.Sp
Note that both the \f(CW\*(C`CanonicalName\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`FilterName\*(C'\fR options
can modify the value used for the zip filename header field.
.Sp
Also note that you should set the \f(CW\*(C`Efs\*(C'\fR option to true if you are working

.Sp
It is recommended that you enable this option unless you really need
to create a non-standard Zip file.

This is what \s-1APPNOTE\s0.TXT has to say on what should be stored in the zip
filename header field.
.Sp
.Vb 6
\& The name of the file, with optional relative path.
\& The path stored should not contain a drive or

.ie n .IP """FilterName => sub { ... }""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWFilterName => sub { ... }\fR" 5
.IX Item "FilterName => sub { ... }"
This option allow the filename field in the zip header to be modified
before it is written to the zip file.
.Sp
This option takes a parameter that must be a reference to a sub. On entry
to the sub the \f(CW$_\fR variable will contain the name to be filtered. If no
filename is available \f(CW$_\fR will contain an empty string.
.Sp
The value of \f(CW$_\fR when the sub returns will be stored in the filename
header field.
.Sp
Note that if \f(CW\*(C`CanonicalName\*(C'\fR is enabled, a
normalized filename will be passed to the sub.
.Sp
If you use \f(CW\*(C`FilterName\*(C'\fR to modify the filename, it is your responsibility
to keep the filename in Unix format.
.Sp
Although this option can be used with the \s-1OO\s0 interface, it is of most use
with the one-shot interface. For example, the code below shows how
\&\f(CW\*(C`FilterName\*(C'\fR can be used to remove the path component from a series of
filenames before they are stored in \f(CW$zipfile\fR.
.Sp
.Vb 4

archive. When set, the filename and comment fields for the zip archive \s-1MUST\s0
be valid \s-1UTF\-8\s0.

.el .IP "\f(CWTime => $number\fR" 5
.IX Item "Time => $number"
Sets the last modified time field in the zip header to \f(CW$number\fR.

This field defaults to the time the \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Zip\*(C'\fR object was created
if this option is not specified and the \f(CW$input\fR parameter is not a
filename.

This option expects an array reference with exactly three elements:
\&\f(CW$atime\fR, \f(CW\*(C`mtime\*(C'\fR and \f(CW$ctime\fR. These correspond to the last access
time, last modification time and creation time respectively.
.Sp
It uses these values to set the extended timestamp field (\s-1ID\s0 is \*(L"\s-1UT\s0\*(R") in
the local zip header using the three values, \f(CW$atime\fR, \f(CW$mtime\fR, \f(CW$ctime\fR. In
addition it sets the extended timestamp field in the central zip header
using \f(CW$mtime\fR.
.Sp
If any of the three values is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR that time value will not be used.
So, for example, to set only the \f(CW$mtime\fR you would use this

Controls which compression method is used. At present four compression
methods are supported, namely Store (no compression at all), Deflate,
Bzip2 and Lzma.
.Sp
The symbols, \s-1ZIP_CM_STORE\s0, \s-1ZIP_CM_DEFLATE\s0, \s-1ZIP_CM_BZIP2\s0 and \s-1ZIP_CM_LZMA\s0
are used to select the compression method.
.Sp
These constants are not imported by \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Zip\*(C'\fR by default.
.Sp
.Vb 3
\& use IO::Compress::Zip qw(:zip_method);

.Ve
.Sp
Note that to create Bzip2 content, the module \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Bzip2\*(C'\fR must
be installed. A fatal error will be thrown if you attempt to create Bzip2
content when \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Bzip2\*(C'\fR is not available.
.Sp
Note that to create Lzma content, the module \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Lzma\*(C'\fR must
be installed. A fatal error will be thrown if you attempt to create Lzma
content when \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Lzma\*(C'\fR is not available.

.ie n .IP """Stream => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWStream => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "Stream => 0|1"
This option controls whether the zip file/buffer output is created in
streaming mode.
.Sp
Note that when outputting to a file with streaming mode disabled (\f(CW\*(C`Stream\*(C'\fR
is 0), the output file must be seekable.
.Sp
The default is 1.
.ie n .IP """Zip64 => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWZip64 => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "Zip64 => 0|1"
Create a Zip64 zip file/buffer. This option is used if you want
to store files larger than 4 Gig or store more than 64K files in a single
zip archive.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`Zip64\*(C'\fR will be automatically set, as needed, if working with the one-shot
interface when the input is either a filename or a scalar reference.
.Sp
If you intend to manipulate the Zip64 zip files created with this module
using an external zip/unzip, make sure that it supports Zip64.
.Sp
In particular, if you are using Info-Zip you need to have zip version 3.x
or better to update a Zip64 archive and unzip version 6.x to read a zip64
archive.
.Sp
The default is 0.
.ie n .IP """TextFlag => 0|1""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWTextFlag => 0|1\fR" 5
.IX Item "TextFlag => 0|1"
This parameter controls the setting of a bit in the zip central header. It
is used to signal that the data stored in the zip file/buffer is probably
text.
.Sp
In one-shot mode this flag will be set to true if the Perl \f(CW\*(C`\-T\*(C'\fR operator thinks
the file contains text.
.Sp
The default is 0.

.PD 0
.ie n .IP """ExtraFieldCentral => $data""" 5
.el .IP "\f(CWExtraFieldCentral => $data\fR" 5
.IX Item "ExtraFieldCentral => $data"
.PD
The \f(CW\*(C`ExtraFieldLocal\*(C'\fR option is used to store additional metadata in the
local header for the zip file/buffer. The \f(CW\*(C`ExtraFieldCentral\*(C'\fR does the
same for the matching central header.
.Sp
An extra field consists of zero or more subfields. Each subfield consists
of a two byte header followed by the subfield data.
.Sp
The list of subfields can be supplied in any of the following formats
.Sp
.Vb 4
\& ExtraFieldLocal => [$id1, $data1,
\& $id2, $data2,
\& ...
\& ]
\&
\& ExtraFieldLocal => [ [$id1 => $data1],
\& [$id2 => $data2],
\& ...
\& ]
\&
\& ExtraFieldLocal => { $id1 => $data1,
\& $id2 => $data2,
\& ...
\& }
.Ve
.Sp
Where \f(CW$id1\fR, \f(CW$id2\fR are two byte subfield \s-1ID\s0's.
.Sp
If you use the hash syntax, you have no control over the order in which
the ExtraSubFields are stored, plus you cannot have SubFields with
duplicate \s-1ID\s0.
.Sp
Alternatively the list of subfields can by supplied as a scalar, thus
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& ExtraField => $rawdata
.Ve
.Sp
In this case \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Zip\*(C'\fR will check that \f(CW$rawdata\fR consists of
zero or more conformant sub-fields.
.Sp
The Extended Time field (\s-1ID\s0 \*(L"\s-1UT\s0\*(R"), set using the \f(CW\*(C`exTime\*(C'\fR option, and the
Unix2 extra field (\s-1ID\s0 "Ux), set using the \f(CW\*(C`exUnix2\*(C'\fR option, are examples
of extra fields.

9 is the slowest compression with the highest memory usage but with the best
compression.
.Sp
This option is only valid if the \f(CW\*(C`Method\*(C'\fR is \s-1ZIP_CM_LZMA\s0. It is ignored
otherwise.

This option is only valid if the \f(CW\*(C`Method\*(C'\fR is \s-1ZIP_CM_LZMA\s0. It is ignored
otherwise.
.Sp
Defaults to 0.

Usage is
.PP
.Vb 2
\& $z\->flush;

.Ve
.PP
Flushes any pending compressed data to the output file/buffer.

For most versions of Perl this method will be automatically invoked if
the IO::Compress::Zip object is destroyed (either explicitly or by the
variable with the reference to the object going out of scope). The
exceptions are Perl versions 5.005 through 5.00504 and 5.8.0. In
these cases, the \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR method will be called automatically, but
not until global destruction of all live objects when the program is
terminating.
.PP
Therefore, if you want your scripts to be able to run on all versions
of Perl, you should call \f(CW\*(C`close\*(C'\fR explicitly and not rely on automatic
closing.
.PP
Returns true on success, otherwise 0.
.PP
If the \f(CW\*(C`AutoClose\*(C'\fR option has been enabled when the IO::Compress::Zip
