The zero-based index of the archive to open.
archiveName (String)
The name of the archive being opened.

Instance of the compression engine doing the operations.
Return Value
Stream
A stream from which archive bytes are read, or null to cancel extraction of the archive.
Remarks
When the first archive in a chain is opened, the name is not yet known, so the provided value will be an empty string. When opening further archives, the provided value is the next-archive name stored in the previous archive. This name is often, but not necessarily, the same as the filename of the archive package to be opened.

If this method returns null, the archive engine will throw a FileNotFoundException.
