## Detailed Description

**ZipOutputStream** is an ostream that writes the output to a zip file. The interface approximates the interface of the Java **ZipOutputStream**.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

### zipios::ZipOutputStream::ZipOutputStream (std::ostream & os)` [explicit]`

**ZipOutputStream** constructor.

**Parameters:**

*os* ostream to which the compressed zip archive is written. \
 *pos* position to reposition the ostream to before reading.

Definition at line 13 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### zipios::ZipOutputStream::ZipOutputStream (const std::string & filename)` [explicit]`

**ZipOutputStream** constructor. filename to write the zip archive to.

Definition at line 24 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### zipios::ZipOutputStream::~ZipOutputStream ()` [virtual]`

Destructor.

Definition at line 74 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

## Member Function Documentation

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::close ()

Calls finish and if the **ZipOutputStream** was created with a filename as a parameter that file is closed as well. If the **ZipOutputStream** was created with an ostream as its first parameter nothing but the call to finish happens.

Definition at line 38 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::closeEntry ()

Closes the current entry updates its header with the relevant size information and positions the stream write pointer for the next entry header. Puts the stream in EOF state. Call **putNextEntry()** to clear the EOF stream state flag.

Definition at line 33 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::finish ()

Closes the current entry (if one is open), then writes the Zip Central Directory Structure closing the **ZipOutputStream**. The output stream that the zip archive is being written to is not closed.

Definition at line 45 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::putNextEntry (const ZipCDirEntry & entry)

Begins writing the next entry.

Definition at line 50 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::putNextEntry (const std::string & entryName)

Begins writing the next entry.

Definition at line 54 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::setComment (const std::string & comment)

Sets the global comment for the Zip archive.

Definition at line 59 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::setLevel (int level)

Sets the compression level to be used for subsequent entries.

Definition at line 64 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.

### void zipios::ZipOutputStream::setMethod (StorageMethod method)

Sets the compression method to be used. only STORED and DEFLATED are supported.

Definition at line 69 of file zipoutputstream.cpp.
