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.

Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Example

This sample shows how to create a zip file

using System;
using System.IO;

using ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip;

class MainClass
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(args[0]);
        
        ZipOutputStream s = new ZipOutputStream(File.Create(args[1]));
        
        s.SetLevel(5); // 0 - store only to 9 - means best compression
        
        foreach (string file in filenames) {
            FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(file);
            
            byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
            fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            
            ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(file);
            
            s.PutNextEntry(entry);
            
            s.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
            
        }
        
        s.Finish();
        s.Close();
    }
}
