This is necessary when re-assembling output from N independent

<remarks>
<para>
I am thinking this may be useful in a Stream that uses this
compressor class. In the Close() method on the stream it could
check this value to see if anything has been written at all. You
may think the stream could easily track the number of bytes it
wrote, which would eliminate the need for this. But, there is the
case where the stream writes a complete block, and it is full, and
then writes no more. In that case the stream may want to check.

<para>
To "process" the byte means to do the run-length encoding.
There are 3 possible return values:
0 - the byte was not written, in other words, not
encoded into the block. This happens when the
byte b would require the start of a new run, and
the block has no more room for new runs.
1 - the byte was written, and the block is not full.
2 - the byte was written, and the block is full.

<para>
This class is similar to <see cref="T:Ionic.BZip2.BZip2OutputStream"/>,

<member name="P:Ionic.BZip2.ParallelBZip2OutputStream.MaxWorkers">
<summary>
The maximum number of concurrent compression worker threads to use.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This property sets an upper limit on the number of concurrent worker
threads to employ for compression. The implementation of this stream
employs multiple threads from the .NET thread pool, via <see
cref="M:System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback)">
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem()</see>, to compress the incoming data by
block. As each block of data is compressed, this stream re-orders the
compressed blocks and writes them to the output stream.
</para>
<para>
A higher number of workers enables a higher degree of
parallelism, which tends to increase the speed of compression on
multi-cpu computers. On the other hand, a higher number of buffer
pairs also implies a larger memory consumption, more active worker
threads, and a higher cpu utilization for any compression. This
property enables the application to limit its memory consumption and
CPU utilization behavior depending on requirements.
</para>
<para>
By default, DotNetZip allocates 4 workers per CPU core, subject to the
upper limit specified in this property. For example, suppose the
application sets this property to 16. Then, on a machine with 2
cores, DotNetZip will use 8 workers; that number does not exceed the
upper limit specified by this property, so the actual number of
workers used will be 4 * 2 = 8. On a machine with 4 cores, DotNetZip
will use 16 workers; again, the limit does not apply. On a machine
with 8 cores, DotNetZip will use 16 workers, because of the limit.
</para>
<para>
For each compression "worker thread" that occurs in parallel, there is
up to 2mb of memory allocated, for buffering and processing. The
actual number depends on the <see cref="P:Ionic.BZip2.ParallelBZip2OutputStream.BlockSize"/> property.
</para>
<para>
CPU utilization will also go up with additional workers, because a
larger number of buffer pairs allows a larger number of background
threads to compress in parallel. If you find that parallel
compression is consuming too much memory or CPU, you can adjust this
value downward.
</para>
<para>
The default value is 16. Different values may deliver better or
worse results, depending on your priorities and the dynamic
performance characteristics of your storage and compute resources.
</para>
<para>
The application can set this value at any time, but it is effective
only before the first call to Write(), which is when the buffers are
allocated.

<para>
This is optional. Leave it empty (<c>null</c> in C# or <c>Nothing</c> in
VB) to run no command after extraction.
</para>
<para>
If it is non-empty, the SFX will execute the command specified in this
string on the user's machine, and using the extract directory as the
working directory for the process, after unpacking the archive. The
program to execute can include a path, if you like. If you want to execute
a program that accepts arguments, specify the program name, followed by a
space, and then the arguments for the program, each separated by a space,
just as you would on a normal command line. Example: <c>program.exe arg1
arg2</c>. The string prior to the first space will be taken as the
program name, and the string following the first space specifies the
arguments to the program.
</para>
<para>
If you want to execute a program that has a space in the name or path of
the file, surround the program name in double-quotes. The first character
of the command line should be a double-quote character, and there must be
a matching double-quote following the end of the program file name. Any
optional arguments to the program follow that, separated by
spaces. Example: <c>"c:\project files\program name.exe" arg1 arg2</c>.
</para>
<para>
If the flavor of the SFX is <c>SelfExtractorFlavor.ConsoleApplication</c>,
then the SFX starts a new process, using this string as the post-extract
command line. The SFX waits for the process to exit. The exit code of
the post-extract command line is returned as the exit code of the
command-line self-extractor exe. A non-zero exit code is typically used to
indicated a failure by the program. In the case of an SFX, a non-zero exit
code may indicate a failure during extraction, OR, it may indicate a
failure of the run-after-extract program if specified, OR, it may indicate
the run-after-extract program could not be fuond. There is no way to
distinguish these conditions from the calling shell, aside from parsing
the output of the SFX. If you have Quiet set to <c>true</c>, you may not
see error messages, if a problem occurs.
</para>
<para>
If the flavor of the SFX is
<c>SelfExtractorFlavor.WinFormsApplication</c>, then the SFX starts a new
process, using this string as the post-extract command line, and using the
extract directory as the working directory for the process. The SFX does
not wait for the command to complete, and does not check the exit code of
the program. If the run-after-extract program cannot be fuond, a message
box is displayed indicating that fact.
</para>
<para>
You can specify environment variables within this string, with a format like
<c>%NAME%</c>. The value of these variables will be expanded at the time
the SFX is run. Example: <c>%WINDIR%\system32\xcopy.exe</c> may expand at
runtime to <c>c:\Windows\System32\xcopy.exe</c>.
</para>
<para>
By combining this with the <c>RemoveUnpackedFilesAfterExecute</c>

was extracted, then deletes all the files that were extracted. If
you want it to run "invisibly" then set <c>Flavor</c> to
<c>SelfExtractorFlavor.ConsoleApplication</c>, and set <c>Quiet</c>
to true. The user running such an EXE will see a console window
appear, then disappear quickly. You may also want to specify the
default extract location, with <c>DefaultExtractDirectory</c>.
</para>
<para>
If you set <c>Flavor</c> to
<c>SelfExtractorFlavor.WinFormsApplication</c>, and set <c>Quiet</c> to
true, then a GUI with progressbars is displayed, but it is
"non-interactive" - it accepts no input from the user. Instead the SFX
just automatically unpacks and exits.

<summary>
The ZipFile type represents a zip archive file.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This is the main type in the DotNetZip class library. This class reads and
writes zip files, as defined in the <see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">specification
for zip files described by PKWare</see>. The compression for this
implementation is provided by a managed-code version of Zlib, included with
DotNetZip in the classes in the Ionic.Zlib namespace.
</para>
<para>
This class provides a general purpose zip file capability. Use it to read,
create, or update zip files. When you want to create zip files using a
<c>Stream</c> type to write the zip file, you may want to consider the <see
cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipOutputStream"/> class.
</para>
<para>
Both the <c>ZipOutputStream</c> class and the <c>ZipFile</c> class can
be used to create zip files. Both of them support many of the common zip
features, including Unicode, different compression methods and levels,
and ZIP64. They provide very similar performance when creating zip
files.
</para>
<para>
The <c>ZipFile</c> class is generally easier to use than
<c>ZipOutputStream</c> and should be considered a higher-level interface. For
example, when creating a zip file via calls to the <c>PutNextEntry()</c> and
<c>Write()</c> methods on the <c>ZipOutputStream</c> class, the caller is
responsible for opening the file, reading the bytes from the file, writing
those bytes into the <c>ZipOutputStream</c>, setting the attributes on the
<c>ZipEntry</c>, and setting the created, last modified, and last accessed
timestamps on the zip entry. All of these things are done automatically by a
call to <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AddFile(System.String,System.String)">ZipFile.AddFile()</see>.
For this reason, the <c>ZipOutputStream</c> is generally recommended for use
only when your application emits arbitrary data, not necessarily data from a
filesystem file, directly into a zip file, and does so using a <c>Stream</c>
metaphor.
</para>
<para>
Aside from the differences in programming model, there are other
differences in capability between the two classes.
</para>
<list type="bullet">
<item>
<c>ZipFile</c> can be used to read and extract zip files, in addition to
creating zip files. <c>ZipOutputStream</c> cannot read zip files. If you want
to use a stream to read zip files, check out the <see cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipInputStream"/> class.
</item>
<item>
<c>ZipOutputStream</c> does not support the creation of segmented or spanned
zip files.
</item>

<para>
Be aware that the <c>ZipFile</c> class implements the <see

produce a valid zip file, you use use it within a using clause (<c>Using</c>
in VB), or call the <c>Dispose()</c> method explicitly. See the examples
for how to employ a using clause.

</para>
<para>
There are two "flavors" of self-extracting archive. The
<c>WinFormsApplication</c> version will pop up a GUI and allow the
user to select a target directory into which to extract. There's also
a checkbox allowing the user to specify to overwrite existing files,
and another checkbox to allow the user to request that Explorer be
opened to see the extracted files after extraction. The other flavor
is <c>ConsoleApplication</c>. A self-extractor generated with that
flavor setting will run from the command line. It accepts command-line
options to set the overwrite behavior, and to specify the target
extraction directory.
</para>
<para>
There are a few temporary files created during the saving to a
self-extracting zip. These files are created in the directory pointed
to by <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.TempFileFolder"/>, which defaults to <see

removed upon successful completion of this method.
</para>
<para>
When a user runs the WinForms SFX, the user's personal directory (<see
cref="F:System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal">Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal</see>)
will be used as the default extract location. If you want to set the
default extract location, you should use the other overload of
<c>SaveSelfExtractor()</c>/ The user who runs the SFX will have the
opportunity to change the extract directory before extracting. When
the user runs the Command-Line SFX, the user must explicitly specify
the directory to which to extract. The .NET Framework 4.0 is required
on the computer when the self-extracting archive is run.

About progress events: When using the WriteDelegate, DotNetZip does
not issue any SaveProgress events with <c>EventType</c> = <see
cref="F:Ionic.Zip.ZipProgressEventType.Saving_EntryBytesRead">
Saving_EntryBytesRead</see>. (This is because it is the
application's code that runs in WriteDelegate - there's no way for
DotNetZip to know when to issue a EntryBytesRead event.)
Applications that want to update a progress bar or similar status
indicator should do so from within the WriteDelegate
itself. DotNetZip will issue the other SaveProgress events,
including <see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.ZipProgressEventType.Saving_Started">
Saving_Started</see>,
<see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.ZipProgressEventType.Saving_BeforeWriteEntry">
Saving_BeforeWriteEntry</see>, and <see

</para>
<para>
Note: When you use PKZip encryption, it's normally necessary to
compute the CRC of the content to be encrypted, before compressing or
encrypting it. Therefore, when using PKZip encryption with a
WriteDelegate, the WriteDelegate CAN BE called twice: once to compute
the CRC, and the second time to potentially compress and
encrypt. Surprising, but true. This is because PKWARE specified that
the encryption initialization data depends on the CRC.
If this happens, for each call of the delegate, your
application must stream the same entry data in its entirety. If your
application writes different data during the second call, it will
result in a corrupt zip file.
</para>
<para>
The double-read behavior happens with all types of entries, not only
those that use WriteDelegate. It happens if you add an entry from a
filesystem file, or using a string, or a stream, or an opener/closer
pair. But in those cases, DotNetZip takes care of reading twice; in
the case of the WriteDelegate, the application code gets invoked
twice. Be aware.
</para>
<para>
As you can imagine, this can cause performance problems for large
streams, and it can lead to correctness problems when you use a
<c>WriteDelegate</c>. This is a pretty big pitfall. There are two
ways to avoid it. First, and most preferred: don't use PKZIP
encryption. If you use the WinZip AES encryption, this problem
doesn't occur, because the encryption protocol doesn't require the CRC
up front. Second: if you do choose to use PKZIP encryption, write out
to a non-seekable stream (like standard output, or the
Response.OutputStream in an ASP.NET application). In this case,
DotNetZip will use an alternative encryption protocol that does not
rely on the CRC of the content. This also implies setting bit 3 in
the zip entry, which still presents problems for some zip tools.
</para>
<para>
In the future I may modify DotNetZip to *always* use bit 3 when PKZIP
encryption is in use. This seems like a win overall, but there will
be some work involved. If you feel strongly about it, visit the
DotNetZip forums and vote up <see

This example uses an anonymous method in C# as the WriteDelegate to provide
the data for the ZipEntry. The example is a bit contrived - the
<c>AddFile()</c> method is a simpler way to insert the contents of a file
into an entry in a zip file. On the other hand, if there is some sort of
processing or transformation of the file contents required before writing,
the application could use the <c>WriteDelegate</c> to do it, in this way.
<code lang="C#">
using (var input = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite ))
{
using(Ionic.Zip.ZipFile zip = new Ionic.Zip.ZipFile())

zip.AddEntry(zipEntryName, (name,output) =>
{
byte[] buffer = new byte[BufferSize];
int n;
while ((n = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)

zip.Save(zipFileName);

<example>
This example uses a named delegate in VB to write data for the given
ZipEntry (VB9 does not have anonymous delegates). The example here is a bit
contrived - a simpler way to add the contents of a file to a ZipEntry is to
simply use the appropriate <c>AddFile()</c> method. The key scenario for
which the <c>WriteDelegate</c> makes sense is saving a DataSet, in XML
format, to the zip file. The DataSet can write XML to a stream, and the
WriteDelegate is the perfect place to write into the zip file. There may be
other data structures that can write to a stream, but cannot be read as a
stream. The <c>WriteDelegate</c> would be appropriate for those cases as
well.
<code lang="VB">
Private Sub WriteEntry (ByVal name As String, ByVal output As Stream)
Using input As FileStream = File.Open(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite)

You almost never want to use this property.
</para>
<para>
When reading a zip file, if this flag is <c>true</c> (<c>True</c> in
VB), the entire zip archive will be scanned and searched for entries.
For large archives, this can take a very, long time. The much more
efficient default behavior is to read the zip directory, which is
stored at the end of the zip file. But, in some cases the directory is
corrupted and you need to perform a full scan of the zip file to
determine the contents of the zip file. This property lets you do
that, when necessary.
</para>
<para>
This flag is effective only when calling <see
cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Initialize(System.String)"/>. Normally you would read a ZipFile with the
static <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Read(System.String)">ZipFile.Read</see>

<member name="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.BufferSize">
<summary>
Size of the IO buffer used while saving.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
First, let me say that you really don't need to bother with this. It is
here to allow for optimizations that you probably won't make! It will work
fine if you don't set or get this property at all. Ok?
</para>
<para>
Now that we have <em>that</em> out of the way, the fine print: This
property affects the size of the buffer that is used for I/O for each
entry contained in the zip file. When a file is read in to be compressed,
it uses a buffer given by the size here. When you update a zip file, the
data for unmodified entries is copied from the first zip file to the
other, through a buffer given by the size here.
</para>
<para>
Changing the buffer size affects a few things: first, for larger buffer
sizes, the memory used by the <c>ZipFile</c>, obviously, will be larger
during I/O operations. This may make operations faster for very much
larger files. Last, for any given entry, when you use a larger buffer
there will be fewer progress events during I/O operations, because there's
one progress event generated for each time the buffer is filled and then
emptied.
</para>
<para>
The default buffer size is 8k. Increasing the buffer size may speed
things up as you compress larger files. But there are no hard-and-fast
rules here, eh? You won't know til you test it. And there will be a
limit where ever larger buffers actually slow things down. So as I said
in the beginning, it's probably best if you don't set or get this property
at all.
</para>
</remarks>
<example>
This example shows how you might set a large buffer size for efficiency when
dealing with zip entries that are larger than 1gb.
<code lang="C#">
using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
zip.SaveProgress += this.zip1_SaveProgress;
zip.AddDirectory(directoryToZip, "");
zip.UseZip64WhenSaving = Zip64Option.Always;
zip.BufferSize = 65536*8; // 65536 * 8 = 512k

<member name="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.CodecBufferSize">
<summary>
Size of the work buffer to use for the ZLIB codec during compression.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
When doing ZLIB or Deflate compression, the library fills a buffer,
then passes it to the compressor for compression. Then the library
reads out the compressed bytes. This happens repeatedly until there
is no more uncompressed data to compress. This property sets the
size of the buffer that will be used for chunk-wise compression. In
order for the setting to take effect, your application needs to set
this property before calling one of the <c>ZipFile.Save()</c>
overloads.
</para>
<para>
Setting this affects the performance and memory efficiency of
compression and decompression. For larger files, setting this to a
larger size may improve compression performance, but the exact
numbers vary depending on available memory, the size of the streams
you are compressing, and a bunch of other variables. I don't have
good firm recommendations on how to set it. You'll have to test it
yourself. Or just leave it alone and accept the default.

with no path: the folders are "flattened."
</para>
<para>
An example: suppose the zip file contains entries /directory1/file1.txt and
/directory2/file2.txt. With <c>FlattenFoldersOnExtract</c> set to false,

those items will not use the specified compression level.

If you do not set this property, the default compression level is used,

compression speed. In some tests, using <c>BestCompression</c> can
double the time it takes to compress, while delivering just a small

</para>
<para>
The specification does not describe how to indicate the encoding used
on a comment string. Many "compliant" zip tools and libraries use
IBM437 as the code page for comments; DotNetZip, too, follows that
practice. On the other hand, there are situations where you want a
Comment to be encoded with something else, for example using code page
950 "Big-5 Chinese". To fill that need, DotNetZip will encode the
comment following the same procedure it follows for encoding
filenames: (a) if <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AlternateEncodingUsage"/> is
<c>Never</c>, it uses the default encoding (IBM437). (b) if <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AlternateEncodingUsage"/> is <c>Always</c>, it always uses the
alternate encoding (<see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AlternateEncoding"/>). (c) if <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AlternateEncodingUsage"/> is <c>AsNecessary</c>, it uses the
alternate encoding only if the default encoding is not sufficient for
encoding the comment - in other words if decoding the result does not
produce the original string. This decision is taken at the time of
the call to <c>ZipFile.Save()</c>.
</para>

When creating a zip archive using this library, it is possible to change
the value of <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AlternateEncoding" /> between each

<para>
An application creating a zip archive can use this flag to explicitly

<c>true</c>, meaning the Windows-format times are stored in the zip

When adding an entry from a file or directory, the Creation (<see

automatically set from the filesystem values. When adding an entry from a

<c>DateTime.Now</c>. Applications can also explicitly set those times by
calling <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.SetEntryTimes(System.DateTime,System.DateTime,System.DateTime)"/>.
</para>
<para>
<see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">PKWARE's
zip specification</see> describes multiple ways to format these times in a
zip file. One is the format Windows applications normally use: 100ns ticks
since January 1, 1601 UTC. The other is a format Unix applications typically
use: seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. Each format can be stored in an
"extra field" in the zip entry when saving the zip archive. The former
uses an extra field with a Header Id of 0x000A, while the latter uses a
header ID of 0x5455, although you probably don't need to know that.
</para>
<para>
Not all tools and libraries can interpret these fields. Windows
compressed folders is one that can read the Windows Format timestamps,
while I believe <see href="http://www.info-zip.org/">the Infozip
tools</see> can read the Unix format timestamps. Some tools and libraries
may be able to read only one or the other. DotNetZip can read or write
times in either or both formats.
</para>
<para>
The times stored are taken from <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ModifiedTime"/>, <see

</para>
<para>
This property is not mutually exclusive of the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.EmitTimesInUnixFormatWhenSaving" /> property. It is possible and
legal and valid to produce a zip file that contains timestamps encoded in
the Unix format as well as in the Windows format, in addition to the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.LastModified">LastModified</see> time attached to each
entry in the archive, a time that is always stored in "DOS format". And,
notwithstanding the names PKWare uses for these time formats, any of them
can be read and written by any computer, on any operating system. But,
there are no guarantees that a program running on Mac or Linux will
gracefully handle a zip file with "Windows" formatted times, or that an
application that does not use DotNetZip but runs on Windows will be able to
handle file times in Unix format.
</para>
<para>
When in doubt, test. Sorry, I haven't got a complete list of tools and
which sort of timestamps they can use and will tolerate. If you get any
good information and would like to pass it on, please do so and I will

<summary>
Specifies whether the Creation, Access, and Modified times
for entries added to the zip file will be emitted in "Unix(tm)
format" when the zip archive is saved.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
An application creating a zip archive can use this flag to explicitly
specify that the file times for the entries should or should not be stored
in the zip archive in the format used by Unix. By default this flag is
<c>false</c>, meaning the Unix-format times are not stored in the zip
archive.
</para>
<para>
When adding an entry from a file or directory, the Creation (<see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.CreationTime"/>), Access (<see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.AccessedTime"/>), and Modified (<see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ModifiedTime"/>) times for the given entry are
automatically set from the filesystem values. When adding an entry from a
stream or string, all three values are implicitly set to DateTime.Now.
Applications can also explicitly set those times by calling <see
cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.SetEntryTimes(System.DateTime,System.DateTime,System.DateTime)"/>.
</para>
<para>
<see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">PKWARE's
zip specification</see> describes multiple ways to format these times in a
zip file. One is the format Windows applications normally use: 100ns ticks
since January 1, 1601 UTC. The other is a format Unix applications
typically use: seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. Each format can be
stored in an "extra field" in the zip entry when saving the zip
archive. The former uses an extra field with a Header Id of 0x000A, while
the latter uses a header ID of 0x5455, although you probably don't need to
know that.
</para>
<para>
Not all tools and libraries can interpret these fields. Windows
compressed folders is one that can read the Windows Format timestamps,
while I believe the <see href="http://www.info-zip.org/">Infozip</see>
tools can read the Unix format timestamps. Some tools and libraries may be
able to read only one or the other. DotNetZip can read or write times in
either or both formats.
</para>
<para>
The times stored are taken from <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ModifiedTime"/>, <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.AccessedTime"/>, and <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.CreationTime"/>.
</para>
<para>
This property is not mutually exclusive of the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.EmitTimesInWindowsFormatWhenSaving" /> property. It is possible and
legal and valid to produce a zip file that contains timestamps encoded in
the Unix format as well as in the Windows format, in addition to the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.LastModified">LastModified</see> time attached to each
entry in the zip archive, a time that is always stored in "DOS
format". And, notwithstanding the names PKWare uses for these time
formats, any of them can be read and written by any computer, on any
operating system. But, there are no guarantees that a program running on
Mac or Linux will gracefully handle a zip file with "Windows" formatted
times, or that an application that does not use DotNetZip but runs on
Windows will be able to handle file times in Unix format.
</para>
<para>
When in doubt, test. Sorry, I haven't got a complete list of tools and
which sort of timestamps they can use and will tolerate. If you get any
good information and would like to pass it on, please do so and I will
include that information in this documentation.

<member name="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.UseUnicodeAsNecessary">
<summary>
Indicates whether to encode entry filenames and entry comments using Unicode
(UTF-8).
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
<see href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">The
PKWare zip specification</see> provides for encoding file names and file
comments in either the IBM437 code page, or in UTF-8. This flag selects
the encoding according to that specification. By default, this flag is
false, and filenames and comments are encoded into the zip file in the
IBM437 codepage. Setting this flag to true will specify that filenames
and comments that cannot be encoded with IBM437 will be encoded with
UTF-8.
</para>
<para>
Zip files created with strict adherence to the PKWare specification with
respect to UTF-8 encoding can contain entries with filenames containing
any combination of Unicode characters, including the full range of
characters from Chinese, Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic, and many other
alphabets. However, because at this time, the UTF-8 portion of the PKWare
specification is not broadly supported by other zip libraries and
utilities, such zip files may not be readable by your favorite zip tool or
archiver. In other words, interoperability will decrease if you set this
flag to true.
</para>
<para>
In particular, Zip files created with strict adherence to the PKWare
specification with respect to UTF-8 encoding will not work well with
Explorer in Windows XP or Windows Vista, because Windows compressed
folders, as far as I know, do not support UTF-8 in zip files. Vista can
read the zip files, but shows the filenames incorrectly. Unpacking from
Windows Vista Explorer will result in filenames that have rubbish
characters in place of the high-order UTF-8 bytes.
</para>
<para>
Also, zip files that use UTF-8 encoding will not work well with Java
applications that use the java.util.zip classes, as of v5.0 of the Java
runtime. The Java runtime does not correctly implement the PKWare
specification in this regard.
</para>
<para>
As a result, we have the unfortunate situation that "correct" behavior by
the DotNetZip library with regard to Unicode encoding of filenames during
zip creation will result in zip files that are readable by strictly
compliant and current tools (for example the most recent release of the
commercial WinZip tool); but these zip files will not be readable by
various other tools or libraries, including Windows Explorer.
</para>
<para>
The DotNetZip library can read and write zip files with UTF8-encoded
entries, according to the PKware spec. If you use DotNetZip for both
creating and reading the zip file, and you use UTF-8, there will be no
loss of information in the filenames. For example, using a self-extractor
created by this library will allow you to unpack files correctly with no
loss of information in the filenames.
</para>
<para>
If you do not set this flag, it will remain false. If this flag is false,
your <c>ZipFile</c> will encode all filenames and comments using the
IBM437 codepage. This can cause "loss of information" on some filenames,
but the resulting zipfile will be more interoperable with other
utilities. As an example of the loss of information, diacritics can be
lost. The o-tilde character will be down-coded to plain o. The c with a
cedilla (Unicode 0xE7) used in Portugese will be downcoded to a c.
Likewise, the O-stroke character (Unicode 248), used in Danish and
Norwegian, will be down-coded to plain o. Chinese characters cannot be
represented in codepage IBM437; when using the default encoding, Chinese
characters in filenames will be represented as ?. These are all examples
of "information loss".
</para>
<para>
The loss of information associated to the use of the IBM437 encoding is
inconvenient, and can also lead to runtime errors. For example, using
IBM437, any sequence of 4 Chinese characters will be encoded as ????. If
your application creates a <c>ZipFile</c>, then adds two files, each with
names of four Chinese characters each, this will result in a duplicate
filename exception. In the case where you add a single file with a name
containing four Chinese characters, calling Extract() on the entry that
has question marks in the filename will result in an exception, because
the question mark is not legal for use within filenames on Windows. These
are just a few examples of the problems associated to loss of information.
</para>
<para>
This flag is independent of the encoding of the content within the entries
in the zip file. Think of the zip file as a container - it supports an
encoding. Within the container are other "containers" - the file entries
themselves. The encoding within those entries is independent of the
encoding of the zip archive container for those entries.
</para>
<para>
Rather than specify the encoding in a binary fashion using this flag, an
application can specify an arbitrary encoding via the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding"/> property. Setting the encoding
explicitly when creating zip archives will result in non-compliant zip
files that, curiously, are fairly interoperable. The challenge is, the
PKWare specification does not provide for a way to specify that an entry
in a zip archive uses a code page that is neither IBM437 nor UTF-8.
Therefore if you set the encoding explicitly when creating a zip archive,
you must take care upon reading the zip archive to use the same code page.
If you get it wrong, the behavior is undefined and may result in incorrect
filenames, exceptions, stomach upset, hair loss, and acne.

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
In <see href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">its
zip specification</see>, PKWare describes two options for encoding
filenames and comments: using IBM437 or UTF-8. But, some archiving tools
or libraries do not follow the specification, and instead encode
characters using the system default code page. For example, WinRAR when
run on a machine in Shanghai may encode filenames with the Big-5 Chinese
(950) code page. This behavior is contrary to the Zip specification, but
it occurs anyway.
</para>
<para>
When using DotNetZip to write zip archives that will be read by one of
these other archivers, set this property to specify the code page to use
when encoding the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.FileName"/> and <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Comment"/> for each <c>ZipEntry</c> in the zip file, for
values that cannot be encoded with the default codepage for zip files,
IBM437. This is why this property is "provisional". In all cases, IBM437
is used where possible, in other words, where no loss of data would
result. It is possible, therefore, to have a given entry with a
<c>Comment</c> encoded in IBM437 and a <c>FileName</c> encoded with the
specified "provisional" codepage.
</para>
<para>
Be aware that a zip file created after you've explicitly set the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding" /> property to a value other than
IBM437 may not be compliant to the PKWare specification, and may not be
readable by compliant archivers. On the other hand, many (most?)
archivers are non-compliant and can read zip files created in arbitrary
code pages. The trick is to use or specify the proper codepage when
reading the zip.
</para>
<para>
When creating a zip archive using this library, it is possible to change
the value of <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding" /> between each
entry you add, and between adding entries and the call to
<c>Save()</c>. Don't do this. It will likely result in a zipfile that is
not readable. For best interoperability, either leave <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding" /> alone, or specify it only once,
before adding any entries to the <c>ZipFile</c> instance. There is one
exception to this recommendation, described later.
</para>
<para>
When using an arbitrary, non-UTF8 code page for encoding, there is no
standard way for the creator application - whether DotNetZip, WinZip,
WinRar, or something else - to formally specify in the zip file which
codepage has been used for the entries. As a result, readers of zip files
are not able to inspect the zip file and determine the codepage that was
used for the entries contained within it. It is left to the application
or user to determine the necessary codepage when reading zip files encoded
this way. In other words, if you explicitly specify the codepage when you
create the zipfile, you must explicitly specify the same codepage when
reading the zipfile.
</para>
<para>
The way you specify the code page to use when reading a zip file varies
depending on the tool or library you use to read the zip. In DotNetZip,
you use a ZipFile.Read() method that accepts an encoding parameter. It
isn't possible with Windows Explorer, as far as I know, to specify an
explicit codepage to use when reading a zip. If you use an incorrect
codepage when reading a zipfile, you will get entries with filenames that
are incorrect, and the incorrect filenames may even contain characters
that are not legal for use within filenames in Windows. Extracting entries
with illegal characters in the filenames will lead to exceptions. It's too
bad, but this is just the way things are with code pages in zip
files. Caveat Emptor.
</para>
<para>
Example: Suppose you create a zipfile that contains entries with
filenames that have Danish characters. If you use <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding" /> equal to "iso-8859-1" (cp 28591),
the filenames will be correctly encoded in the zip. But, to read that
zipfile correctly, you have to specify the same codepage at the time you
read it. If try to read that zip file with Windows Explorer or another
application that is not flexible with respect to the codepage used to
decode filenames in zipfiles, you will get a filename like "Inf<6E>.txt".
</para>
<para>
When using DotNetZip to read a zip archive, and the zip archive uses an
arbitrary code page, you must specify the encoding to use before or when
the <c>Zipfile</c> is READ. This means you must use a <c>ZipFile.Read()</c>
method that allows you to specify a System.Text.Encoding parameter. Setting
the ProvisionalAlternateEncoding property after your application has read in
the zip archive will not affect the entry names of entries that have already
been read in.
</para>
<para>
And now, the exception to the rule described above. One strategy for
specifying the code page for a given zip file is to describe the code page
in a human-readable form in the Zip comment. For example, the comment may
read "Entries in this archive are encoded in the Big5 code page". For
maximum interoperability, the zip comment in this case should be encoded
in the default, IBM437 code page. In this case, the zip comment is
encoded using a different page than the filenames. To do this, Specify
<c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c> to your desired region-specific code
page, once before adding any entries, and then reset
<c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c> to IBM437 before setting the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Comment"/> property and calling Save().
</para>
</remarks>
<example>
This example shows how to read a zip file using the Big-5 Chinese code page
(950), and extract each entry in the zip file. For this code to work as
desired, the <c>Zipfile</c> must have been created using the big5 code page
(CP950). This is typical, for example, when using WinRar on a machine with
CP950 set as the default code page. In that case, the names of entries
within the Zip archive will be stored in that code page, and reading the zip
archive must be done using that code page. If the application did not use
the correct code page in <c>ZipFile.Read()</c>, then names of entries within the
zip archive would not be correctly retrieved.
<code>
using (var zip = ZipFile.Read(zipFileName, System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("big5")))
{
// retrieve and extract an entry using a name encoded with CP950
zip[MyDesiredEntry].Extract("unpack");

Sets the password to be used on the <c>ZipFile</c> instance.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
When writing a zip archive, this password is applied to the entries, not
to the zip archive itself. It applies to any <c>ZipEntry</c> subsequently
added to the <c>ZipFile</c>, using one of the <c>AddFile</c>,
<c>AddDirectory</c>, <c>AddEntry</c>, or <c>AddItem</c> methods, etc.
When reading a zip archive, this property applies to any entry
subsequently extracted from the <c>ZipFile</c> using one of the Extract
methods on the <c>ZipFile</c> class.
</para>
<para>
When writing a zip archive, keep this in mind: though the password is set
on the ZipFile object, according to the Zip spec, the "directory" of the
archive - in other words the list of entries or files contained in the archive - is
not encrypted with the password, or protected in any way. If you set the
Password property, the password actually applies to individual entries
that are added to the archive, subsequent to the setting of this property.
The list of filenames in the archive that is eventually created will
appear in clear text, but the contents of the individual files are
encrypted. This is how Zip encryption works.
</para>
<para>
One simple way around this limitation is to simply double-wrap sensitive
filenames: Store the files in a zip file, and then store that zip file
within a second, "outer" zip file. If you apply a password to the outer
zip file, then readers will be able to see that the outer zip file
contains an inner zip file. But readers will not be able to read the
directory or file list of the inner zip file.
</para>
<para>
If you set the password on the <c>ZipFile</c>, and then add a set of files
to the archive, then each entry is encrypted with that password. You may
also want to change the password between adding different entries. If you
set the password, add an entry, then set the password to <c>null</c>
(<c>Nothing</c> in VB), and add another entry, the first entry is
encrypted and the second is not. If you call <c>AddFile()</c>, then set
the <c>Password</c> property, then call <c>ZipFile.Save</c>, the file
added will not be password-protected, and no warning will be generated.
</para>
<para>
When setting the Password, you may also want to explicitly set the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Encryption"/> property, to specify how to encrypt the entries added
to the ZipFile. If you set the Password to a non-null value and do not
set <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Encryption"/>, then PKZip 2.0 ("Weak") encryption is used.
This encryption is relatively weak but is very interoperable. If you set
the password to a <c>null</c> value (<c>Nothing</c> in VB), Encryption is
reset to None.
</para>
<para>
All of the preceding applies to writing zip archives, in other words when
you use one of the Save methods. To use this property when reading or an
existing ZipFile, do the following: set the Password property on the
<c>ZipFile</c>, then call one of the Extract() overloads on the <see
cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry" />. In this case, the entry is extracted using the
<c>Password</c> that is specified on the <c>ZipFile</c> instance. If you
have not set the <c>Password</c> property, then the password is
<c>null</c>, and the entry is extracted with no password.
</para>
<para>
If you set the Password property on the <c>ZipFile</c>, then call
<c>Extract()</c> an entry that has not been encrypted with a password, the
password is not used for that entry, and the <c>ZipEntry</c> is extracted
as normal. In other words, the password is used only if necessary.
</para>
<para>
The <see cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry"/> class also has a <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Password">Password</see> property. It takes precedence
over this property on the <c>ZipFile</c>. Typically, you would use the
per-entry Password when most entries in the zip archive use one password,
and a few entries use a different password. If all entries in the zip
file use the same password, then it is simpler to just set this property
on the <c>ZipFile</c> itself, whether creating a zip archive or extracting
a zip archive.
</para>
</remarks>
<example>
<para>
This example creates a zip file, using password protection for the
entries, and then extracts the entries from the zip file. When creating
the zip file, the Readme.txt file is not protected with a password, but
the other two are password-protected as they are saved. During extraction,
each file is extracted with the appropriate password.

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Errors can occur as a file is being saved to the zip archive. For
example, the File.Open may fail, or a File.Read may fail, because of
lock conflicts or other reasons.
</para>
<para>
The first problem might occur after having called AddDirectory() on a
directory that contains a Clipper .dbf file; the file is locked by
Clipper and cannot be opened for read by another process. An example of
the second problem might occur when trying to zip a .pst file that is in
use by Microsoft Outlook. Outlook locks a range on the file, which allows
other processes to open the file, but not read it in its entirety.
</para>
<para>
This property tells DotNetZip what you would like to do in the case of
these errors. The primary options are: <c>ZipErrorAction.Throw</c> to
throw an exception (this is the default behavior if you don't set this
property); <c>ZipErrorAction.Skip</c> to Skip the file for which there
was an error and continue saving; <c>ZipErrorAction.Retry</c> to Retry
the entry that caused the problem; or
<c>ZipErrorAction.InvokeErrorEvent</c> to invoke an event handler.
</para>
<para>
This property is implicitly set to <c>ZipErrorAction.InvokeErrorEvent</c>
if you add a handler to the <see cref="E:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ZipError" /> event. If you set
this property to something other than
<c>ZipErrorAction.InvokeErrorEvent</c>, then the <c>ZipError</c>
event is implicitly cleared. What it means is you can set one or the
other (or neither), depending on what you want, but you never need to set
both.

those items will not use the specified error handling action.

Set this when creating a zip archive, or when updating a zip archive. The

<c>ZipFile</c> instance. Applications do not need to set the
<c>Encryption</c> property when reading or extracting a zip archive.
</para>
<para>
If you set this to something other than EncryptionAlgorithm.None, you

</para>
<para>
As with some other properties on the <c>ZipFile</c> class, like <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Password"/> and <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.CompressionLevel"/>, setting this

<c>EncryptionAlgorithm</c> to be used on all <see cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry"/> items
that are subsequently added to the <c>ZipFile</c> instance. In other
words, if you set this property after you have added items to the

<c>AddFile</c>, <c>AddItem</c>, or <c>AddDirectory</c> (etc.) on the

</para>
<para>
If you read a <c>ZipFile</c>, you can modify the <c>Encryption</c> on an
encrypted entry, only by setting the <c>Encryption</c> property on the
<c>ZipEntry</c> itself. Setting the <c>Encryption</c> property on the
<c>ZipFile</c>, once it has been created via a call to
<c>ZipFile.Read()</c>, does not affect entries that were previously read.
</para>
<para>
For example, suppose you read a <c>ZipFile</c>, and there is an encrypted
entry. Setting the <c>Encryption</c> property on that <c>ZipFile</c> and
then calling <c>Save()</c> on the <c>ZipFile</c> does not update the
<c>Encryption</c> used for the entries in the archive. Neither is an
exception thrown. Instead, what happens during the <c>Save()</c> is that
all previously existing entries are copied through to the new zip archive,
with whatever encryption and password that was used when originally
creating the zip archive. Upon re-reading that archive, to extract
entries, applications should use the original password or passwords, if
any.
</para>
<para>
Suppose an application reads a <c>ZipFile</c>, and there is an encrypted

then adding new entries (via <c>AddFile()</c>, <c>AddEntry()</c>, etc)

newly-added entries.

<member name="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.SetCompression">
<summary>
A callback that allows the application to specify the compression level
to use for entries subsequently added to the zip archive.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
With this callback, the DotNetZip library allows the application to
determine whether compression will be used, at the time of the
<c>Save</c>. This may be useful if the application wants to favor
speed over size, and wants to defer the decision until the time of
<c>Save</c>.
</para>
<para>
Typically applications set the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.CompressionLevel"/> property on
the <c>ZipFile</c> or on each <c>ZipEntry</c> to determine the level of
compression used. This is done at the time the entry is added to the
<c>ZipFile</c>. Setting the property to
<c>Ionic.Zlib.CompressionLevel.None</c> means no compression will be used.
</para>
<para>
This callback allows the application to defer the decision on the
<c>CompressionLevel</c> to use, until the time of the call to
<c>ZipFile.Save()</c>. The callback is invoked once per <c>ZipEntry</c>,
at the time the data for the entry is being written out as part of a
<c>Save()</c> operation. The application can use whatever criteria it
likes in determining the level to return. For example, an application may
wish that no .mp3 files should be compressed, because they are already
compressed and the extra compression is not worth the CPU time incurred,
and so can return <c>None</c> for all .mp3 entries.
</para>
<para>
The library determines whether compression will be attempted for an entry
this way: If the entry is a zero length file, or a directory, no
compression is used. Otherwise, if this callback is set, it is invoked
and the <c>CompressionLevel</c> is set to the return value. If this
callback has not been set, then the previously set value for
<c>CompressionLevel</c> is used.

<summary>
The size threshold for an entry, above which a parallel deflate is used.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
DotNetZip will use multiple threads to compress any ZipEntry,
if the entry is larger than the given size. Zero means "always
use parallel deflate", while -1 means "never use parallel
deflate". The default value for this property is 512k. Aside
from the special values of 0 and 1, the minimum value is 65536.
</para>
<para>
If the entry size cannot be known before compression, as with a
read-forward stream, then Parallel deflate will never be
performed, unless the value of this property is zero.
</para>
<para>
A parallel deflate operations will speed up the compression of
large files, on computers with multiple CPUs or multiple CPU
cores. For files above 1mb, on a dual core or dual-cpu (2p)
machine, the time required to compress the file can be 70% of the
single-threaded deflate. For very large files on 4p machines the
compression can be done in 30% of the normal time. The downside
is that parallel deflate consumes extra memory during the deflate,
and the deflation is not as effective.
</para>
<para>
Parallel deflate tends to yield slightly less compression when
compared to as single-threaded deflate; this is because the original
data stream is split into multiple independent buffers, each of which
is compressed in parallel. But because they are treated
independently, there is no opportunity to share compression
dictionaries. For that reason, a deflated stream may be slightly
larger when compressed using parallel deflate, as compared to a
traditional single-threaded deflate. Sometimes the increase over the
normal deflate is as much as 5% of the total compressed size. For
larger files it can be as small as 0.1%.
</para>
<para>
Multi-threaded compression does not give as much an advantage when
using Encryption. This is primarily because encryption tends to slow
down the entire pipeline. Also, multi-threaded compression gives less
of an advantage when using lower compression levels, for example <see
cref="F:Ionic.Zlib.CompressionLevel.BestSpeed"/>. You may have to
perform some tests to determine the best approach for your situation.

<member name="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ParallelDeflateMaxBufferPairs">
<summary>
The maximum number of buffer pairs to use when performing
parallel compression.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This property sets an upper limit on the number of memory
buffer pairs to create when performing parallel
compression. The implementation of the parallel
compression stream allocates multiple buffers to
facilitate parallel compression. As each buffer fills up,
the stream uses <see
cref="M:System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback)">
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem()</see> to compress those
buffers in a background threadpool thread. After a buffer
is compressed, it is re-ordered and written to the output
stream.
</para>
<para>
A higher number of buffer pairs enables a higher degree of
parallelism, which tends to increase the speed of compression on
multi-cpu computers. On the other hand, a higher number of buffer
pairs also implies a larger memory consumption, more active worker
threads, and a higher cpu utilization for any compression. This
property enables the application to limit its memory consumption and
CPU utilization behavior depending on requirements.
</para>
<para>
For each compression "task" that occurs in parallel, there are 2
buffers allocated: one for input and one for output. This property
sets a limit for the number of pairs. The total amount of storage
space allocated for buffering will then be (N*S*2), where N is the
number of buffer pairs, S is the size of each buffer (<see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.BufferSize"/>). By default, DotNetZip allocates 4 buffer
pairs per CPU core, so if your machine has 4 cores, and you retain
the default buffer size of 128k, then the
ParallelDeflateOutputStream will use 4 * 4 * 2 * 128kb of buffer
memory in total, or 4mb, in blocks of 128kb. If you then set this
property to 8, then the number will be 8 * 2 * 128kb of buffer
memory, or 2mb.
</para>
<para>
CPU utilization will also go up with additional buffers, because a
larger number of buffer pairs allows a larger number of background
threads to compress in parallel. If you find that parallel
compression is consuming too much memory or CPU, you can adjust this
value downward.
</para>
<para>
The default value is 16. Different values may deliver better or
worse results, depending on your priorities and the dynamic
performance characteristics of your storage and compute resources.
</para>
<para>
This property is not the number of buffer pairs to use; it is an
upper limit. An illustration: Suppose you have an application that
uses the default value of this property (which is 16), and it runs
on a machine with 2 CPU cores. In that case, DotNetZip will allocate
4 buffer pairs per CPU core, for a total of 8 pairs. The upper
limit specified by this property has no effect.
</para>
<para>
The application can set this value at any time
before calling <c>ZipFile.Save()</c>.

<remarks>
<para>
Applications can use this constructor to create a new ZipFile for writing,
or to slurp in an existing zip archive for read and update purposes.
</para>
<para>
To create a new zip archive, an application can call this constructor,
passing the name of a file that does not exist. The name may be a fully
qualified path. Then the application can add directories or files to the
<c>ZipFile</c> via <c>AddDirectory()</c>, <c>AddFile()</c>, <c>AddItem()</c>
and then write the zip archive to the disk by calling <c>Save()</c>. The
zip file is not actually opened and written to the disk until the
application calls <c>ZipFile.Save()</c>. At that point the new zip file
with the given name is created.
</para>
<para>
If you won't know the name of the <c>Zipfile</c> until the time you call
<c>ZipFile.Save()</c>, or if you plan to save to a stream (which has no
name), then you should use the no-argument constructor.
</para>
<para>
The application can also call this constructor to read an existing zip
archive. passing the name of a valid zip file that does exist. But, it's
better form to use the static <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Read(System.String)"/> method,
passing the name of the zip file, because using <c>ZipFile.Read()</c> in
your code communicates very clearly what you are doing. In either case,
the file is then read into the <c>ZipFile</c> instance. The app can then
enumerate the entries or can modify the zip file, for example adding
entries, removing entries, changing comments, and so on.
</para>
<para>
One advantage to this parameterized constructor: it allows applications to
use the same code to add items to a zip archive, regardless of whether the
zip file exists.
</para>

Instances of the <c>ZipFile</c> class are not multi-thread safe. You may

This is because DotNetZip performs a normalization of filenames passed to

The Dispose() method is generally employed implicitly, via a <c>using(..) {..}</c>
statement. (<c>Using...End Using</c> in VB) If you do not employ a using

<member name="E:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ZipError">
<summary>
An event that is raised when an error occurs during open or read of files
while saving a zip archive.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Errors can occur as a file is being saved to the zip archive. For
example, the File.Open may fail, or a File.Read may fail, because of
lock conflicts or other reasons. If you add a handler to this event,
you can handle such errors in your own code. If you don't add a
handler, the library will throw an exception if it encounters an I/O
error during a call to <c>Save()</c>.
</para>
<para>
Setting a handler implicitly sets <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ZipErrorAction"/> to
<c>ZipErrorAction.InvokeErrorEvent</c>.
</para>
<para>
The handler you add applies to all <see cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry"/> items that are
subsequently added to the <c>ZipFile</c> instance. If you set this
property after you have added items to the <c>ZipFile</c>, but before you
have called <c>Save()</c>, errors that occur while saving those items
will not cause the error handler to be invoked.
</para>
<para>
If you want to handle any errors that occur with any entry in the zip
file using the same error handler, then add your error handler once,
before adding any entries to the zip archive.
</para>
<para>
In the error handler method, you need to set the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ZipErrorAction"/> property on the
<c>ZipErrorEventArgs.CurrentEntry</c>. This communicates back to
DotNetZip what you would like to do with this particular error. Within
an error handler, if you set the <c>ZipEntry.ZipErrorAction</c> property
on the <c>ZipEntry</c> to <c>ZipErrorAction.InvokeErrorEvent</c> or if
you don't set it at all, the library will throw the exception. (It is the
same as if you had set the <c>ZipEntry.ZipErrorAction</c> property on the
<c>ZipEntry</c> to <c>ZipErrorAction.Throw</c>.) If you set the
<c>ZipErrorEventArgs.Cancel</c> to true, the entire <c>Save()</c> will be
canceled.
</para>
<para>
In the case that you use <c>ZipErrorAction.Skip</c>, implying that
you want to skip the entry for which there's been an error, DotNetZip
tries to seek backwards in the output stream, and truncate all bytes
written on behalf of that particular entry. This works only if the
output stream is seekable. It will not work, for example, when using
ASPNET's Response.OutputStream.
</para>

errors during save of the zip file.

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This method will extract all entries in the <c>ZipFile</c> to the
specified path.
</para>
<para>
If an extraction of a file from the zip archive would overwrite an
existing file in the filesystem, the action taken is dictated by the
ExtractExistingFile property, which overrides any setting you may have
made on individual ZipEntry instances. By default, if you have not
set that property on the <c>ZipFile</c> instance, the entry will not
be extracted, the existing file will not be overwritten and an
exception will be thrown. To change this, set the property, or use the
<see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.ExtractAll(System.String,Ionic.Zip.ExtractExistingFileAction)" /> overload that allows you to
specify an ExtractExistingFileAction parameter.
</para>
<para>
The action to take when an extract would overwrite an existing file
applies to all entries. If you want to set this on a per-entry basis,
then you must use one of the <see
cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Extract">ZipEntry.Extract</see> methods.
</para>
<para>
This method will send verbose output messages to the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.StatusMessageTextWriter"/>, if it is set on the <c>ZipFile</c>
instance.
</para>
<para>
You may wish to take advantage of the <c>ExtractProgress</c> event.
</para>
<para>
About timestamps: When extracting a file entry from a zip archive, the
extracted file gets the last modified time of the entry as stored in
the archive. The archive may also store extended file timestamp
information, including last accessed and created times. If these are
present in the <c>ZipEntry</c>, then the extracted file will also get
these times.
</para>
<para>
A Directory entry is somewhat different. It will get the times as
described for a file entry, but, if there are file entries in the zip
archive that, when extracted, appear in the just-created directory,
then when those file entries are extracted, the last modified and last
accessed times of the directory will change, as a side effect. The
result is that after an extraction of a directory and a number of
files within the directory, the last modified and last accessed
timestamps on the directory will reflect the time that the last file
was extracted into the directory, rather than the time stored in the
zip archive for the directory.
</para>
<para>
To compensate, when extracting an archive with <c>ExtractAll</c>,
DotNetZip will extract all the file and directory entries as described
above, but it will then make a second pass on the directories, and
reset the times on the directories to reflect what is stored in the
zip archive.
</para>
<para>
This compensation is performed only within the context of an
<c>ExtractAll</c>. If you call <c>ZipEntry.Extract</c> on a directory
entry, the timestamps on directory in the filesystem will reflect the
times stored in the zip. If you then call <c>ZipEntry.Extract</c> on
a file entry, which is extracted into the directory, the timestamps on
the directory will be updated to the current time.
</para>

<remarks>
<para>
The <c>ZipFile</c> instance is written to storage - typically a zip file
in a filesystem, but using this overload, the storage can be anything
accessible via a writable stream - only when the caller calls <c>Save</c>.
</para>
<para>
Use this method to save the zip content to a stream directly. A common
scenario is an ASP.NET application that dynamically generates a zip file
and allows the browser to download it. The application can call
<c>Save(Response.OutputStream)</c> to write a zipfile directly to the
output stream, without creating a zip file on the disk on the ASP.NET
server.
</para>
<para>
Be careful when saving a file to a non-seekable stream, including
<c>Response.OutputStream</c>. When DotNetZip writes to a non-seekable
stream, the zip archive is formatted in such a way that may not be
compatible with all zip tools on all platforms. It's a perfectly legal
and compliant zip file, but some people have reported problems opening
files produced this way using the Mac OS archive utility.
</para>
</remarks>
<example>
This example saves the zipfile content into a MemoryStream, and
then gets the array of bytes from that MemoryStream.
<code lang="C#">
using (var zip = new Ionic.Zip.ZipFile())

zip.CompressionLevel= Ionic.Zlib.CompressionLevel.BestCompression;
zip.Password = "VerySecret.";

<summary>
Adds to the ZipFile a set of files from the current working directory on
disk, that conform to the specified criteria.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This method selects files from the the current working directory matching
the specified criteria, and adds them to the ZipFile.
</para>
<para>
Specify the criteria in statements of 3 elements: a noun, an operator, and
a value. Consider the string "name != *.doc" . The noun is "name". The
operator is "!=", implying "Not Equal". The value is "*.doc". That
criterion, in English, says "all files with a name that does not end in
the .doc extension."
</para>
<para>
Supported nouns include "name" (or "filename") for the filename; "atime",
"mtime", and "ctime" for last access time, last modfied time, and created
time of the file, respectively; "attributes" (or "attrs") for the file
attributes; "size" (or "length") for the file length (uncompressed), and
"type" for the type of object, either a file or a directory. The
"attributes", "name" and "type" nouns both support = and != as operators.
The "size", "atime", "mtime", and "ctime" nouns support = and !=, and
&gt;, &gt;=, &lt;, &lt;= as well. The times are taken to be expressed in
local time.
</para>
<para>
Specify values for the file attributes as a string with one or more of the
characters H,R,S,A,I,L in any order, implying file attributes of Hidden,
ReadOnly, System, Archive, NotContextIndexed, and ReparsePoint (symbolic
link) respectively.
</para>
<para>
To specify a time, use YYYY-MM-DD-HH:mm:ss or YYYY/MM/DD-HH:mm:ss as the
format. If you omit the HH:mm:ss portion, it is assumed to be 00:00:00
(midnight).
</para>
<para>
The value for a size criterion is expressed in integer quantities of bytes,
kilobytes (use k or kb after the number), megabytes (m or mb), or gigabytes
(g or gb).
</para>
<para>
The value for a name is a pattern to match against the filename, potentially
including wildcards. The pattern follows CMD.exe glob rules: * implies one
or more of any character, while ? implies one character. If the name
pattern contains any slashes, it is matched to the entire filename,
including the path; otherwise, it is matched against only the filename
without the path. This means a pattern of "*\*.*" matches all files one
directory level deep, while a pattern of "*.*" matches all files in all
directories.
</para>
<para>
To specify a name pattern that includes spaces, use single quotes around the
pattern. A pattern of "'* *.*'" will match all files that have spaces in
the filename. The full criteria string for that would be "name = '* *.*'" .
</para>
<para>
The value for a type criterion is either F (implying a file) or D (implying
a directory).
</para>
<para>
Some examples:
</para>
<list type="table">
<listheader>
<term>criteria</term>
<description>Files retrieved</description>
</listheader>
<item>
<term>name != *.xls </term>
<description>any file with an extension that is not .xls
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>name = *.mp3 </term>
<description>any file with a .mp3 extension.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>*.mp3</term>
<description>(same as above) any file with a .mp3 extension.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>attributes = A </term>
<description>all files whose attributes include the Archive bit.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>attributes != H </term>
<description>all files whose attributes do not include the Hidden bit.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>mtime > 2009-01-01</term>
<description>all files with a last modified time after January 1st, 2009.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>size > 2gb</term>
<description>all files whose uncompressed size is greater than 2gb.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>type = D</term>
<description>all directories in the filesystem. </description>
</item>
</list>
<para>
You can combine criteria with the conjunctions AND or OR. Using a string
like "name = *.txt AND size &gt;= 100k" for the selectionCriteria retrieves
entries whose names end in .txt, and whose uncompressed size is greater than
or equal to 100 kilobytes.
</para>
<para>
For more complex combinations of criteria, you can use parenthesis to group
clauses in the boolean logic. Without parenthesis, the precedence of the
criterion atoms is determined by order of appearance. Unlike the C#
language, the AND conjunction does not take precendence over the logical OR.
This is important only in strings that contain 3 or more criterion atoms.
In other words, "name = *.txt and size &gt; 1000 or attributes = H" implies
"((name = *.txt AND size &gt; 1000) OR attributes = H)" while "attributes =
H OR name = *.txt and size &gt; 1000" evaluates to "((attributes = H OR name
= *.txt) AND size &gt; 1000)". When in doubt, use parenthesis.
</para>
<para>
Using time properties requires some extra care. If you want to retrieve all
entries that were last updated on 2009 February 14, specify a time range
like so:"mtime &gt;= 2009-02-14 AND mtime &lt; 2009-02-15". Read this to
say: all files updated after 12:00am on February 14th, until 12:00am on
February 15th. You can use the same bracketing approach to specify any time
period - a year, a month, a week, and so on.
</para>
<para>
The syntax allows one special case: if you provide a string with no spaces, it is
treated as a pattern to match for the filename. Therefore a string like "*.xls"
will be equivalent to specifying "name = *.xls".
</para>
<para>
There is no logic in this method that insures that the file inclusion
criteria are internally consistent. For example, it's possible to specify
criteria that says the file must have a size of less than 100 bytes, as well
as a size that is greater than 1000 bytes. Obviously no file will ever
satisfy such criteria, but this method does not detect such logical
inconsistencies. The caller is responsible for insuring the criteria are
sensible.
</para>
<para>
Using this method, the file selection does not recurse into
subdirectories, and the full path of the selected files is included in the
entries added into the zip archive. If you don't like these behaviors,
see the other overloads of this method.

<remarks>
<para>
<c>PkzipWeak</c> implies the use of Zip 2.0 encryption, which is known to be
weak and subvertible.
</para>
<para>
A note on interoperability: Values of <c>PkzipWeak</c> and <c>None</c> are
specified in <see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">PKWARE's zip
specification</see>, and are considered to be "standard". Zip archives
produced using these options will be interoperable with many other zip tools
and libraries, including Windows Explorer.
</para>
<para>
Values of <c>WinZipAes128</c> and <c>WinZipAes256</c> are not part of the Zip
specification, but rather imply the use of a vendor-specific extension from
WinZip. If you want to produce interoperable Zip archives, do not use these
values. For example, if you produce a zip archive using WinZipAes256, you
will be able to open it in Windows Explorer on Windows XP and Vista, but you
will not be able to extract entries; trying this will lead to an "unspecified
error". For this reason, some people have said that a zip archive that uses
WinZip's AES encryption is not actually a zip archive at all. A zip archive
produced this way will be readable with the WinZip tool (Version 11 and
beyond).
</para>
<para>
There are other third-party tools and libraries, both commercial and
otherwise, that support WinZip's AES encryption. These will be able to read
AES-encrypted zip archives produced by DotNetZip, and conversely applications
that use DotNetZip to read zip archives will be able to read AES-encrypted
archives produced by those tools or libraries. Consult the documentation for
those other tools and libraries to find out if WinZip's AES encryption is
supported.
</para>
<para>
In case you care: According to <see
href="http://www.winzip.com/aes_info.htm">the WinZip specification</see>, the
actual AES key used is derived from the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Password"/> via an
algorithm that complies with <see
href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2898.txt">RFC 2898</see>, using an iteration
count of 1000. The algorithm is sometimes referred to as PBKDF2, which stands
for "Password Based Key Derivation Function #2".
</para>
<para>
A word about password strength and length: The AES encryption technology is
very good, but any system is only as secure as the weakest link. If you want
to secure your data, be sure to use a password that is hard to guess. To make
it harder to guess (increase its "entropy"), you should make it longer. If
you use normal characters from an ASCII keyboard, a password of length 20 will
be strong enough that it will be impossible to guess. For more information on
that, I'd encourage you to read <see
href="http://www.redkestrel.co.uk/Articles/RandomPasswordStrength.html">this
article.</see>

this way, the application can decide, just-in-time, whether to overwrite the
file. For example, a GUI application may wish to pop up a dialog to allow
the user to choose. You may want to examine the <see

the decision. If, after your processing in the Extract progress event, you
want to NOT extract the file, set <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.ExtractExistingFile"/>

If you do want to extract the file, set <c>ZipEntry.ExtractExistingFile</c>

<c>ZipProgressEventArgs.Cancel</c> to true. Cancelling differs from using
DoNotOverwrite in that a cancel will not extract any further entries, if

<summary>
A decorator stream. It wraps another stream, and performs bookkeeping

<para>
In some cases, it is not possible to get the Position of a stream, let's
say, on a write-only output stream like ASP.NET's
<c>Response.OutputStream</c>, or on a different write-only stream
provided as the destination for the zip by the application. In this
case, programmers can use this counting stream to count the bytes read
or written.
</para>
<para>
Consider the scenario of an application that saves a self-extracting
archive (SFX), that uses a custom SFX stub.
</para>
<para>
Saving to a filesystem file, the application would open the
filesystem file (getting a <c>FileStream</c>), save the custom sfx stub
into it, and then call <c>ZipFile.Save()</c>, specifying the same
FileStream. <c>ZipFile.Save()</c> does the right thing for the zipentry
offsets, by inquiring the Position of the <c>FileStream</c> before writing
any data, and then adding that initial offset into any ZipEntry
offsets in the zip directory. Everything works fine.
</para>
<para>
Now suppose the application is an ASPNET application and it saves
directly to <c>Response.OutputStream</c>. It's not possible for DotNetZip to
inquire the <c>Position</c>, so the offsets for the SFX will be wrong.
</para>
<para>
The workaround is for the application to use this class to wrap
<c>HttpResponse.OutputStream</c>, then write the SFX stub and the ZipFile
into that wrapper stream. Because <c>ZipFile.Save()</c> can inquire the
<c>Position</c>, it will then do the right thing with the offsets.

Most uses of the DotNetZip library will not involve direct calls into

Step 1 - Initializing the encryption keys
-----------------------------------------
Start with these keys:
Key(0) := 305419896 (0x12345678)
Key(1) := 591751049 (0x23456789)
Key(2) := 878082192 (0x34567890)
Then, initialize the keys with a password:
loop for i from 0 to length(password)-1
update_keys(password(i))
end loop
Where update_keys() is defined as:
update_keys(char):
Key(0) := crc32(key(0),char)
Key(1) := Key(1) + (Key(0) bitwiseAND 000000ffH)
Key(1) := Key(1) * 134775813 + 1
Key(2) := crc32(key(2),key(1) rightshift 24)
end update_keys
Where crc32(old_crc,char) is a routine that given a CRC value and a
character, returns an updated CRC value after applying the CRC-32
algorithm described elsewhere in this document.

After the keys are initialized, then you can use the cipher to

setting of <c>DateTimeKind.Unspecified</c> are taken to be expressed as
<c>DateTimeKind.Local</c>.
</para>
<para>
Be aware that because of the way <see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">PKWare's
Zip specification</see> describes how times are stored in the zip file,
the full precision of the <c>System.DateTime</c> datatype is not stored
for the last modified time when saving zip files. For more information on
how times are formatted, see the PKZip specification.
</para>
<para>
The actual last modified time of a file can be stored in multiple ways in
the zip file, and they are not mutually exclusive:
</para>
<list type="bullet">
<item>
In the so-called "DOS" format, which has a 2-second precision. Values
are rounded to the nearest even second. For example, if the time on the
file is 12:34:43, then it will be stored as 12:34:44. This first value
is accessible via the <c>LastModified</c> property. This value is always
present in the metadata for each zip entry. In some cases the value is
invalid, or zero.
</item>
<item>
In the so-called "Windows" or "NTFS" format, as an 8-byte integer
quantity expressed as the number of 1/10 milliseconds (in other words
the number of 100 nanosecond units) since January 1, 1601 (UTC). This
format is how Windows represents file times. This time is accessible
via the <c>ModifiedTime</c> property.
</item>
<item>
In the "Unix" format, a 4-byte quantity specifying the number of seconds since
January 1, 1970 UTC.
</item>
<item>
In an older format, now deprecated but still used by some current
tools. This format is also a 4-byte quantity specifying the number of
seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.
</item>
</list>
<para>
Zip tools and libraries will always at least handle (read or write) the
DOS time, and may also handle the other time formats. Keep in mind that
while the names refer to particular operating systems, there is nothing in
the time formats themselves that prevents their use on other operating
systems.
</para>
<para>
When reading ZIP files, the DotNetZip library reads the Windows-formatted
time, if it is stored in the entry, and sets both <c>LastModified</c> and
<c>ModifiedTime</c> to that value. When writing ZIP files, the DotNetZip
library by default will write both time quantities. It can also emit the
Unix-formatted time if desired (See <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.EmitTimesInUnixFormatWhenSaving"/>.)
</para>
<para>
The last modified time of the file created upon a call to
<c>ZipEntry.Extract()</c> may be adjusted during extraction to compensate
for differences in how the .NET Base Class Library deals with daylight
saving time (DST) versus how the Windows filesystem deals with daylight
saving time. Raymond Chen <see
href="http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2003/10/24/55413.aspx">provides
some good context</see>.
</para>
<para>
In a nutshell: Daylight savings time rules change regularly. In 2007, for
example, the inception week of DST changed. In 1977, DST was in place all
year round. In 1945, likewise. And so on. Win32 does not attempt to
guess which time zone rules were in effect at the time in question. It
will render a time as "standard time" and allow the app to change to DST
as necessary. .NET makes a different choice.
</para>
<para>
Compare the output of FileInfo.LastWriteTime.ToString("f") with what you
see in the Windows Explorer property sheet for a file that was last
written to on the other side of the DST transition. For example, suppose
the file was last modified on October 17, 2003, during DST but DST is not
currently in effect. Explorer's file properties reports Thursday, October
17, 2003, 8:45:38 AM, but .NETs FileInfo reports Thursday, October 17,
2003, 9:45 AM.
</para>
<para>
Win32 says, "Thursday, October 17, 2002 8:45:38 AM PST". Note: Pacific
STANDARD Time. Even though October 17 of that year occurred during Pacific
Daylight Time, Win32 displays the time as standard time because that's
what time it is NOW.
</para>
<para>
.NET BCL assumes that the current DST rules were in place at the time in
question. So, .NET says, "Well, if the rules in effect now were also in
effect on October 17, 2003, then that would be daylight time" so it
displays "Thursday, October 17, 2003, 9:45 AM PDT" - daylight time.
</para>
<para>
So .NET gives a value which is more intuitively correct, but is also
potentially incorrect, and which is not invertible. Win32 gives a value
which is intuitively incorrect, but is strictly correct.
</para>
<para>
Because of this funkiness, this library adds one hour to the LastModified
time on the extracted file, if necessary. That is to say, if the time in
question had occurred in what the .NET Base Class Library assumed to be
DST. This assumption may be wrong given the constantly changing DST rules,
but it is the best we can do.

This value corresponds to the "last modified" time in the NTFS file times

different from <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.LastModified" />. When setting the property,
the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.LastModified"/> property also gets set, but with a lower
precision.
</para>
<para>
Let me explain. It's going to take a while, so get
comfortable. Originally, waaaaay back in 1989 when the ZIP specification
was originally described by the esteemed Mr. Phil Katz, the dominant
operating system of the time was MS-DOS. MSDOS stored file times with a
2-second precision, because, c'mon, <em>who is ever going to need better
resolution than THAT?</em> And so ZIP files, regardless of the platform on
which the zip file was created, store file times in exactly <see
href="http://www.vsft.com/hal/dostime.htm">the same format that DOS used
in 1989</see>.
</para>
<para>
Since then, the ZIP spec has evolved, but the internal format for file
timestamps remains the same. Despite the fact that the way times are
stored in a zip file is rooted in DOS heritage, any program on any
operating system can format a time in this way, and most zip tools and
libraries DO - they round file times to the nearest even second and store
it just like DOS did 25+ years ago.
</para>
<para>
PKWare extended the ZIP specification to allow a zip file to store what
are called "NTFS Times" and "Unix(tm) times" for a file. These are the
<em>last write</em>, <em>last access</em>, and <em>file creation</em>
times of a particular file. These metadata are not actually specific
to NTFS or Unix. They are tracked for each file by NTFS and by various
Unix filesystems, but they are also tracked by other filesystems, too.
The key point is that the times are <em>formatted in the zip file</em>
in the same way that NTFS formats the time (ticks since win32 epoch),
or in the same way that Unix formats the time (seconds since Unix
epoch). As with the DOS time, any tool or library running on any
operating system is capable of formatting a time in one of these ways
and embedding it into the zip file.
</para>
<para>
These extended times are higher precision quantities than the DOS time.
As described above, the (DOS) LastModified has a precision of 2 seconds.
The Unix time is stored with a precision of 1 second. The NTFS time is
stored with a precision of 0.0000001 seconds. The quantities are easily
convertible, except for the loss of precision you may incur.
</para>
<para>
A zip archive can store the {C,A,M} times in NTFS format, in Unix format,
or not at all. Often a tool running on Unix or Mac will embed the times
in Unix format (1 second precision), while WinZip running on Windows might
embed the times in NTFS format (precision of of 0.0000001 seconds). When
reading a zip file with these "extended" times, in either format,
DotNetZip represents the values with the
<c>ModifiedTime</c>, <c>AccessedTime</c> and <c>CreationTime</c>
properties on the <c>ZipEntry</c>.
</para>
<para>
While any zip application or library, regardless of the platform it
runs on, could use any of the time formats allowed by the ZIP
specification, not all zip tools or libraries do support all these
formats. Storing the higher-precision times for each entry is
optional for zip files, and many tools and libraries don't use the
higher precision quantities at all. The old DOS time, represented by
<see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.LastModified"/>, is guaranteed to be present, though it
sometimes unset.
</para>
<para>
Ok, getting back to the question about how the <c>LastModified</c>
property relates to this <c>ModifiedTime</c>
property... <c>LastModified</c> is always set, while
<c>ModifiedTime</c> is not. (The other times stored in the <em>NTFS
times extension</em>, <c>CreationTime</c> and <c>AccessedTime</c> also
may not be set on an entry that is read from an existing zip file.)
When reading a zip file, then <c>LastModified</c> takes the DOS time
that is stored with the file. If the DOS time has been stored as zero
in the zipfile, then this library will use <c>DateTime.Now</c> for the
<c>LastModified</c> value. If the ZIP file was created by an evolved
tool, then there will also be higher precision NTFS or Unix times in
the zip file. In that case, this library will read those times, and
set <c>LastModified</c> and <c>ModifiedTime</c> to the same value, the
one corresponding to the last write time of the file. If there are no
higher precision times stored for the entry, then <c>ModifiedTime</c>
remains unset (likewise <c>AccessedTime</c> and <c>CreationTime</c>),
and <c>LastModified</c> keeps its DOS time.
</para>
<para>
When creating zip files with this library, by default the extended time
properties (<c>ModifiedTime</c>, <c>AccessedTime</c>, and
<c>CreationTime</c>) are set on the ZipEntry instance, and these data are
stored in the zip archive for each entry, in NTFS format. If you add an
entry from an actual filesystem file, then the entry gets the actual file
times for that file, to NTFS-level precision. If you add an entry from a
stream, or a string, then the times get the value <c>DateTime.Now</c>. In
this case <c>LastModified</c> and <c>ModifiedTime</c> will be identical,
to 2 seconds of precision. You can explicitly set the
<c>CreationTime</c>, <c>AccessedTime</c>, and <c>ModifiedTime</c> of an
entry using the property setters. If you want to set all of those
quantities, it's more efficient to use the <see
cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.SetEntryTimes(System.DateTime,System.DateTime,System.DateTime)"/> method. Those
changes are not made permanent in the zip file until you call <see
cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Save"/> or one of its cousins.
</para>
<para>
When creating a zip file, you can override the default behavior of
this library for formatting times in the zip file, disabling the
embedding of file times in NTFS format or enabling the storage of file
times in Unix format, or both. You may want to do this, for example,
when creating a zip file on Windows, that will be consumed on a Mac,
by an application that is not hip to the "NTFS times" format. To do
this, use the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.EmitTimesInWindowsFormatWhenSaving"/> and
<see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.EmitTimesInUnixFormatWhenSaving"/> properties. A valid zip
file may store the file times in both formats. But, there are no
guarantees that a program running on Mac or Linux will gracefully
handle the NTFS-formatted times when Unix times are present, or that a
non-DotNetZip-powered application running on Windows will be able to
handle file times in Unix format. DotNetZip will always do something
reasonable; other libraries or tools may not. When in doubt, test.

libraries may be able to read only one or the other. DotNetZip can read or
write times in either or both formats.

<para>
This property is not mutually exclusive from the <see

possible that a zip entry can embed the timestamps in both forms, one

non-DotNetZip-powered application running on Windows will be able to
handle file times in Unix format. When in doubt, test.

The file attributes for the entry.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The <see cref="T:System.IO.FileAttributes">attributes</see> in NTFS include
ReadOnly, Archive, Hidden, System, and Indexed. When adding a
<c>ZipEntry</c> to a ZipFile, these attributes are set implicitly when
adding an entry from the filesystem. When adding an entry from a stream
or string, the Attributes are not set implicitly. Regardless of the way
an entry was added to a <c>ZipFile</c>, you can set the attributes
explicitly if you like.
</para>
<para>
When reading a <c>ZipEntry</c> from a <c>ZipFile</c>, the attributes are
set according to the data stored in the <c>ZipFile</c>. If you extract the
entry from the archive to a filesystem file, DotNetZip will set the
attributes on the resulting file accordingly.
</para>
<para>
The attributes can be set explicitly by the application. For example the
application may wish to set the <c>FileAttributes.ReadOnly</c> bit for all
entries added to an archive, so that on unpack, this attribute will be set
on the extracted file. Any changes you make to this property are made
permanent only when you call a <c>Save()</c> method on the <c>ZipFile</c>
instance that contains the ZipEntry.
</para>
<para>
For example, an application may wish to zip up a directory and set the
ReadOnly bit on every file in the archive, so that upon later extraction,
the resulting files will be marked as ReadOnly. Not every extraction tool
respects these attributes, but if you unpack with DotNetZip, as for
example in a self-extracting archive, then the attributes will be set as
they are stored in the <c>ZipFile</c>.
</para>
<para>
These attributes may not be interesting or useful if the resulting archive
is extracted on a non-Windows platform. How these attributes get used
upon extraction depends on the platform and tool used.

different directory path, depending on the value of the

the <c>ZipFile</c>.

In some cases there is no related filesystem file - for example when a
<c>ZipEntry</c> is created using <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.AddEntry(System.String,System.String)"/> or one of the similar overloads. In this case, the value of

<para>
When a <c>ZipEntry</c> is contained within a <c>ZipFile</c>, applications
cannot rename the entry within the context of a <c>foreach</c> (<c>For

<para>
This is a readonly property on the entry. When reading a zip file,
the value for the <c>ZipEntry</c> is determined by the data read
from the zip file. After saving a ZipFile, the value of this
property for each <c>ZipEntry</c> indicates whether encryption was
actually used (which will have been true if the <see

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Set this property in order to encrypt the entry when the <c>ZipFile</c> is
saved. When setting this property, you must also set a <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Password"/> on the entry. If you set a value other than <see

<c>Password</c> then the entry will not be encrypted. The <c>ZipEntry</c>
data is encrypted as the <c>ZipFile</c> is saved, when you call <see

<para>
The Zip specification from PKWare defines a set of encryption algorithms,
and the data formats for the zip archive that support them, and PKWare
supports those algorithms in the tools it produces. Other vendors of tools
and libraries, such as WinZip or Xceed, typically support <em>a
subset</em> of the algorithms specified by PKWare. These tools can
sometimes support additional different encryption algorithms and data
formats, not specified by PKWare. The AES Encryption specified and
supported by WinZip is the most popular example. This library supports a
subset of the complete set of algorithms specified by PKWare and other
vendors.
</para>
<para>
There is no common, ubiquitous multi-vendor standard for strong encryption
within zip files. There is broad support for so-called "traditional" Zip
encryption, sometimes called Zip 2.0 encryption, as <see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">specified
by PKWare</see>, but this encryption is considered weak and
breakable. This library currently supports the Zip 2.0 "weak" encryption,
and also a stronger WinZip-compatible AES encryption, using either 128-bit
or 256-bit key strength. If you want DotNetZip to support an algorithm
that is not currently supported, call the author of this library and maybe
we can talk business.
</para>
<para>
The <see cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile"/> class also has a <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Encryption"/> property. In most cases you will use
<em>that</em> property when setting encryption. This property takes
precedence over any <c>Encryption</c> set on the <c>ZipFile</c> itself.
Typically, you would use the per-entry Encryption when most entries in the
zip archive use one encryption algorithm, and a few entries use a
different one. If all entries in the zip file use the same Encryption,
then it is simpler to just set this property on the ZipFile itself, when
creating a zip archive.
</para>
<para>
Some comments on updating archives: If you read a <c>ZipFile</c>, you can
modify the Encryption on an encrypted entry: you can remove encryption
from an entry that was encrypted; you can encrypt an entry that was not
encrypted previously; or, you can change the encryption algorithm. The
changes in encryption are not made permanent until you call Save() on the
<c>ZipFile</c>. To effect changes in encryption, the entry content is
streamed through several transformations, depending on the modification
the application has requested. For example if the entry is not encrypted
and the application sets <c>Encryption</c> to <c>PkzipWeak</c>, then at
the time of <c>Save()</c>, the original entry is read and decompressed,
then re-compressed and encrypted. Conversely, if the original entry is
encrypted with <c>PkzipWeak</c> encryption, and the application sets the
<c>Encryption</c> property to <c>WinZipAes128</c>, then at the time of
<c>Save()</c>, the original entry is decrypted via PKZIP encryption and
decompressed, then re-compressed and re-encrypted with AES. This all
happens automatically within the library, but it can be time-consuming for
large entries.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, when updating archives, it is not possible to change the
password when changing the encryption algorithm. To change both the
algorithm and the password, you need to Save() the zipfile twice. First
set the <c>Encryption</c> to None, then call <c>Save()</c>. Then set the
<c>Encryption</c> to the new value (not "None"), then call <c>Save()</c>
once again.

<para>
This is a write-only property on the entry. Set this to request that the

password to be used when extracting an existing entry that is encrypted.
</para>
<para>
The password set here is implicitly used to encrypt the entry during the

effect.
</para>
<para>
Consider setting the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Encryption"/> property when using a
password. Answering concerns that the standard password protection
supported by all zip tools is weak, WinZip has extended the ZIP
specification with a way to use AES Encryption to protect entries in the
Zip file. Unlike the "PKZIP 2.0" encryption specified in the PKZIP
specification, <see href=
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard">AES
Encryption</see> uses a standard, strong, tested, encryption
algorithm. DotNetZip can create zip archives that use WinZip-compatible
AES encryption, if you set the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Encryption"/> property. But,
archives created that use AES encryption may not be readable by all other
tools and libraries. For example, Windows Explorer cannot read a
"compressed folder" (a zip file) that uses AES encryption, though it can
read a zip file that uses "PKZIP encryption."
</para>
<para>
The <see cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile"/> class also has a <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Password"/>
property. This property takes precedence over any password set on the
ZipFile itself. Typically, you would use the per-entry Password when most
entries in the zip archive use one password, and a few entries use a
different password. If all entries in the zip file use the same password,
then it is simpler to just set this property on the ZipFile itself,
whether creating a zip archive or extracting a zip archive.
</para>
<para>
Some comments on updating archives: If you read a <c>ZipFile</c>, you
cannot modify the password on any encrypted entry, except by extracting
the entry with the original password (if any), removing the original entry
via <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.RemoveEntry(Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry)"/>, and then adding a new
entry with a new Password.
</para>
<para>
For example, suppose you read a <c>ZipFile</c>, and there is an encrypted
entry. Setting the Password property on that <c>ZipEntry</c> and then
calling <c>Save()</c> on the <c>ZipFile</c> does not update the password
on that entry in the archive. Neither is an exception thrown. Instead,
what happens during the <c>Save()</c> is the existing entry is copied
through to the new zip archive, in its original encrypted form. Upon
re-reading that archive, the entry can be decrypted with its original
password.
</para>
<para>
If you read a ZipFile, and there is an un-encrypted entry, you can set the
<c>Password</c> on the entry and then call Save() on the ZipFile, and get
encryption on that entry.
</para>

<example>
<para>
This example creates a zip file with two entries, and then extracts the

added to the zip file using password protection. Each entry uses a

<remarks>
<para>
The default text encoding used in Zip files for encoding filenames and
comments is IBM437, which is something like a superset of ASCII. In
cases where this is insufficient, applications can specify an
alternate encoding.
</para>
<para>
When creating a zip file, the usage of the alternate encoding is
governed by the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.AlternateEncodingUsage"/> property.
Typically you would set both properties to tell DotNetZip to employ an
encoding that is not IBM437 in the zipfile you are creating.
</para>
<para>
Keep in mind that because the ZIP specification states that the only
valid encodings to use are IBM437 and UTF-8, if you use something
other than that, then zip tools and libraries may not be able to
successfully read the zip archive you generate.
</para>
<para>
The zip specification states that applications should presume that
IBM437 is in use, except when a special bit is set, which indicates
UTF-8. There is no way to specify an arbitrary code page, within the
zip file itself. When you create a zip file encoded with gb2312 or
ibm861 or anything other than IBM437 or UTF-8, then the application
that reads the zip file needs to "know" which code page to use. In
some cases, the code page used when reading is chosen implicitly. For
example, WinRar uses the ambient code page for the host desktop
operating system. The pitfall here is that if you create a zip in
Copenhagen and send it to Tokyo, the reader of the zipfile may not be
able to decode successfully.
</para>

This example shows how to create a zipfile encoded with a

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The ZIP format includes a provision for specifying whether an entry in
the zip archive is a text or binary file. This property exposes that
metadata item. Be careful when using this property: It's not clear
that this property as a firm meaning, across tools and libraries.
</para>
<para>
To be clear, when reading a zip file, the property value may or may
not be set, and its value may or may not be valid. Not all entries
that you may think of as "text" entries will be so marked, and entries
marked as "text" are not guaranteed in any way to be text entries.
Whether the value is set and set correctly depends entirely on the
application that produced the zip file.
</para>
<para>
There are many zip tools available, and when creating zip files, some
of them "respect" the IsText metadata field, and some of them do not.
Unfortunately, even when an application tries to do "the right thing",
it's not always clear what "the right thing" is.
</para>
<para>
There's no firm definition of just what it means to be "a text file",
and the zip specification does not help in this regard. Twenty years
ago, text was ASCII, each byte was less than 127. IsText meant, all
bytes in the file were less than 127. These days, it is not the case
that all text files have all bytes less than 127. Any unicode file
may have bytes that are above 0x7f. The zip specification has nothing
to say on this topic. Therefore, it's not clear what IsText really
means.
</para>
<para>
This property merely tells a reading application what is stored in the
metadata for an entry, without guaranteeing its validity or its
meaning.
</para>
<para>
When DotNetZip is used to create a zipfile, it attempts to set this
field "correctly." For example, if a file ends in ".txt", this field
will be set. Your application may override that default setting. When
writing a zip file, you must set the property before calling
<c>Save()</c> on the ZipFile.
</para>
<para>
When reading a zip file, a more general way to decide just what kind
of file is contained in a particular entry is to use the file type
database stored in the operating system. The operating system stores
a table that says, a file with .jpg extension is a JPG image file, a
file with a .xml extension is an XML document, a file with a .txt is a
pure ASCII text document, and so on. To get this information on
Windows, <see
href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/GetFileTypeAndIcon.aspx"> you
need to read and parse the registry.</see> </para>

<remarks>
<para>
DotNetZip offers a variety of ways to extract entries from a zip
file. This method allows an application to extract an entry by
reading a <see cref="T:System.IO.Stream"/>.
</para>
<para>
The return value is of type <see
cref="T:Ionic.Crc.CrcCalculatorStream"/>. Use it as you would any
stream for reading. When an application calls <see
cref="M:System.IO.Stream.Read(System.Byte[],System.Int32,System.Int32)"/> on that stream, it will
receive data from the zip entry that is decrypted and decompressed
as necessary.
</para>
<para>
<c>CrcCalculatorStream</c> adds one additional feature: it keeps a
CRC32 checksum on the bytes of the stream as it is read. The CRC
value is available in the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Crc.CrcCalculatorStream.Crc"/> property on the
<c>CrcCalculatorStream</c>. When the read is complete, your
application
<em>should</em> check this CRC against the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Crc"/>
property on the <c>ZipEntry</c> to validate the content of the
ZipEntry. You don't have to validate the entry using the CRC, but
you should, to verify integrity. Check the example for how to do
this.
</para>
<para>
If the entry is protected with a password, then you need to provide
a password prior to calling <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.OpenReader"/>, either by
setting the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Password"/> property on the entry, or the
<see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipFile.Password"/> property on the <c>ZipFile</c>
itself. Or, you can use <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.OpenReader(System.String)" />, the
overload of OpenReader that accepts a password parameter.
</para>
<para>
If you want to extract entry data into a write-able stream that is
already opened, like a <see cref="T:System.IO.FileStream"/>, do not
use this method. Instead, use <see cref="M:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Extract(System.IO.Stream)"/>.
</para>
<para>
Your application may use only one stream created by OpenReader() at
a time, and you should not call other Extract methods before
completing your reads on a stream obtained from OpenReader(). This
is because there is really only one source stream for the compressed
content. A call to OpenReader() seeks in the source stream, to the
beginning of the compressed content. A subsequent call to
OpenReader() on a different entry will seek to a different position
in the source stream, as will a call to Extract() or one of its
overloads. This will corrupt the state for the decompressing stream
from the original call to OpenReader().
</para>
<para>
The <c>OpenReader()</c> method works only when the ZipEntry is
obtained from an instance of <c>ZipFile</c>. This method will throw
an exception if the ZipEntry is obtained from a <see
cref="T:Ionic.Zip.ZipInputStream"/>.
</para>
</remarks>
<example>
This example shows how to open a zip archive, then read in a named
entry via a stream. After the read loop is complete, the code
compares the calculated during the read loop with the expected CRC
on the <c>ZipEntry</c>, to verify the extraction.

<member name="T:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option">
<summary>
Options for using ZIP64 extensions when saving zip archives.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Designed many years ago, the <see
href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">original zip
specification from PKWARE</see> allowed for 32-bit quantities for the
compressed and uncompressed sizes of zip entries, as well as a 32-bit quantity
for specifying the length of the zip archive itself, and a maximum of 65535
entries. These limits are now regularly exceeded in many backup and archival
scenarios. Recently, PKWare added extensions to the original zip spec, called
"ZIP64 extensions", to raise those limitations. This property governs whether
DotNetZip will use those extensions when writing zip archives. The use of
these extensions is optional and explicit in DotNetZip because, despite the
status of ZIP64 as a bona fide standard, many other zip tools and libraries do
not support ZIP64, and therefore a zip file with ZIP64 extensions may be
unreadable by some of those other tools.
</para>
<para>
Set this property to <see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option.Always"/> to always use ZIP64
extensions when saving, regardless of whether your zip archive needs it.
Suppose you add 5 files, each under 100k, to a ZipFile. If you specify Always
for this flag, you will get a ZIP64 archive, though the archive does not need
to use ZIP64 because none of the original zip limits had been exceeded.
</para>
<para>
Set this property to <see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option.Never"/> to tell the DotNetZip
library to never use ZIP64 extensions. This is useful for maximum
compatibility and interoperability, at the expense of the capability of
handling large files or large archives. NB: Windows Explorer in Windows XP
and Windows Vista cannot currently extract files from a zip64 archive, so if
you want to guarantee that a zip archive produced by this library will work in
Windows Explorer, use <c>Never</c>. If you set this property to <see
cref="F:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option.Never"/>, and your application creates a zip that would
exceed one of the Zip limits, the library will throw an exception while saving
the zip file.
</para>
<para>
Set this property to <see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option.AsNecessary"/> to tell the
DotNetZip library to use the ZIP64 extensions when required by the
entry. After the file is compressed, the original and compressed sizes are
checked, and if they exceed the limits described above, then zip64 can be
used. That is the general idea, but there is an additional wrinkle when saving
to a non-seekable device, like the ASP.NET <c>Response.OutputStream</c>, or
<c>Console.Out</c>. When using non-seekable streams for output, the entry
header - which indicates whether zip64 is in use - is emitted before it is
known if zip64 is necessary. It is only after all entries have been saved
that it can be known if ZIP64 will be required. On seekable output streams,
after saving all entries, the library can seek backward and re-emit the zip
file header to be consistent with the actual ZIP64 requirement. But using a
non-seekable output stream, the library cannot seek backward, so the header
can never be changed. In other words, the archive's use of ZIP64 extensions is
not alterable after the header is emitted. Therefore, when saving to
non-seekable streams, using <see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option.AsNecessary"/> is the same
as using <see cref="F:Ionic.Zip.Zip64Option.Always"/>: it will always produce a zip
archive that uses ZIP64 extensions.

<summary>
The text encoding to use when reading entries into the zip archive, for
those entries whose filenames or comments cannot be encoded with the
default (IBM437) encoding.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
In <see href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">its
zip specification</see>, PKWare describes two options for encoding
filenames and comments: using IBM437 or UTF-8. But, some archiving tools
or libraries do not follow the specification, and instead encode
characters using the system default code page. For example, WinRAR when
run on a machine in Shanghai may encode filenames with the Big-5 Chinese
(950) code page. This behavior is contrary to the Zip specification, but
it occurs anyway.
</para>
<para>
When using DotNetZip to read zip archives that use something other than
UTF-8 or IBM437, set this property to specify the code page to use when
reading encoded filenames and comments for each <c>ZipEntry</c> in the zip
file.
</para>
<para>
This property is "provisional". When the entry in the zip archive is not
explicitly marked as using UTF-8, then IBM437 is used to decode filenames
and comments. If a loss of data would result from using IBM436 -
specifically when encoding and decoding is not reflexive - the codepage
specified here is used. It is possible, therefore, to have a given entry
with a <c>Comment</c> encoded in IBM437 and a <c>FileName</c> encoded with
the specified "provisional" codepage.
</para>
<para>
When a zip file uses an arbitrary, non-UTF8 code page for encoding, there
is no standard way for the reader application - whether DotNetZip, WinZip,
WinRar, or something else - to know which codepage has been used for the
entries. Readers of zip files are not able to inspect the zip file and
determine the codepage that was used for the entries contained within it.
It is left to the application or user to determine the necessary codepage
when reading zip files encoded this way. If you use an incorrect codepage
when reading a zipfile, you will get entries with filenames that are
incorrect, and the incorrect filenames may even contain characters that
are not legal for use within filenames in Windows. Extracting entries with
illegal characters in the filenames will lead to exceptions. It's too bad,
but this is just the way things are with code pages in zip files. Caveat
Emptor.

Also, a note regarding compression performance: On the desktop .NET
Framework, DotNetZip can use a multi-threaded compression implementation
that provides significant speed increases on large files, over 300k or so,
at the cost of increased memory use at runtime. (The output of the
compression is almost exactly the same size). But, the multi-threaded
approach incurs a performance hit on smaller files. There's no way for the
ZipOutputStream to know whether parallel compression will be beneficial,
because the ZipOutputStream does not know how much data you will write
through the stream. You may wish to set the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipOutputStream.ParallelDeflateThreshold"/> property to zero, if you are compressing
large files through <c>ZipOutputStream</c>. This will cause parallel
compression to be used, always.

The specification does not describe how to indicate the encoding used

practice. On the other hand, there are situations where you want a
Comment to be encoded with something else, for example using code page
950 "Big-5 Chinese". To fill that need, DotNetZip will encode the
comment following the same procedure it follows for encoding
filenames: (a) if <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipOutputStream.AlternateEncodingUsage"/> is
<c>Never</c>, it uses the default encoding (IBM437). (b) if <see

Indicates whether to encode entry filenames and entry comments using

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
<see href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">The
PKWare zip specification</see> provides for encoding file names and file
comments in either the IBM437 code page, or in UTF-8. This flag selects
the encoding according to that specification. By default, this flag is
false, and filenames and comments are encoded into the zip file in the
IBM437 codepage. Setting this flag to true will specify that filenames
and comments that cannot be encoded with IBM437 will be encoded with
UTF-8.
</para>
<para>
Zip files created with strict adherence to the PKWare specification with
respect to UTF-8 encoding can contain entries with filenames containing
any combination of Unicode characters, including the full range of
characters from Chinese, Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic, and many other
alphabets. However, because at this time, the UTF-8 portion of the PKWare
specification is not broadly supported by other zip libraries and
utilities, such zip files may not be readable by your favorite zip tool or
archiver. In other words, interoperability will decrease if you set this
flag to true.
</para>
<para>
In particular, Zip files created with strict adherence to the PKWare
specification with respect to UTF-8 encoding will not work well with
Explorer in Windows XP or Windows Vista, because Windows compressed
folders, as far as I know, do not support UTF-8 in zip files. Vista can
read the zip files, but shows the filenames incorrectly. Unpacking from
Windows Vista Explorer will result in filenames that have rubbish
characters in place of the high-order UTF-8 bytes.
</para>
<para>
Also, zip files that use UTF-8 encoding will not work well with Java
applications that use the java.util.zip classes, as of v5.0 of the Java
runtime. The Java runtime does not correctly implement the PKWare
specification in this regard.
</para>
<para>
As a result, we have the unfortunate situation that "correct" behavior by
the DotNetZip library with regard to Unicode encoding of filenames during
zip creation will result in zip files that are readable by strictly
compliant and current tools (for example the most recent release of the
commercial WinZip tool); but these zip files will not be readable by
various other tools or libraries, including Windows Explorer.
</para>
<para>
The DotNetZip library can read and write zip files with UTF8-encoded
entries, according to the PKware spec. If you use DotNetZip for both
creating and reading the zip file, and you use UTF-8, there will be no
loss of information in the filenames. For example, using a self-extractor
created by this library will allow you to unpack files correctly with no
loss of information in the filenames.
</para>
<para>
If you do not set this flag, it will remain false. If this flag is false,
the <c>ZipOutputStream</c> will encode all filenames and comments using
the IBM437 codepage. This can cause "loss of information" on some
filenames, but the resulting zipfile will be more interoperable with other
utilities. As an example of the loss of information, diacritics can be
lost. The o-tilde character will be down-coded to plain o. The c with a
cedilla (Unicode 0xE7) used in Portugese will be downcoded to a c.
Likewise, the O-stroke character (Unicode 248), used in Danish and
Norwegian, will be down-coded to plain o. Chinese characters cannot be
represented in codepage IBM437; when using the default encoding, Chinese
characters in filenames will be represented as ?. These are all examples
of "information loss".
</para>
<para>
The loss of information associated to the use of the IBM437 encoding is
inconvenient, and can also lead to runtime errors. For example, using
IBM437, any sequence of 4 Chinese characters will be encoded as ????. If
your application creates a <c>ZipOutputStream</c>, does not set the
encoding, then adds two files, each with names of four Chinese characters
each, this will result in a duplicate filename exception. In the case
where you add a single file with a name containing four Chinese
characters, the zipfile will save properly, but extracting that file
later, with any zip tool, will result in an error, because the question
mark is not legal for use within filenames on Windows. These are just a
few examples of the problems associated to loss of information.
</para>
<para>
This flag is independent of the encoding of the content within the entries
in the zip file. Think of the zip file as a container - it supports an
encoding. Within the container are other "containers" - the file entries
themselves. The encoding within those entries is independent of the
encoding of the zip archive container for those entries.
</para>
<para>
Rather than specify the encoding in a binary fashion using this flag, an
application can specify an arbitrary encoding via the <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipOutputStream.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding"/> property. Setting the encoding
explicitly when creating zip archives will result in non-compliant zip
files that, curiously, are fairly interoperable. The challenge is, the
PKWare specification does not provide for a way to specify that an entry
in a zip archive uses a code page that is neither IBM437 nor UTF-8.
Therefore if you set the encoding explicitly when creating a zip archive,
you must take care upon reading the zip archive to use the same code page.
If you get it wrong, the behavior is undefined and may result in incorrect
filenames, exceptions, stomach upset, hair loss, and acne.

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
In <see href="http://www.pkware.com/documents/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT">its
zip specification</see>, PKWare describes two options for encoding
filenames and comments: using IBM437 or UTF-8. But, some archiving tools
or libraries do not follow the specification, and instead encode
characters using the system default code page. For example, WinRAR when
run on a machine in Shanghai may encode filenames with the Big-5 Chinese
(950) code page. This behavior is contrary to the Zip specification, but
it occurs anyway.
</para>
<para>
When using DotNetZip to write zip archives that will be read by one of
these other archivers, set this property to specify the code page to use
when encoding the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.FileName"/> and <see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipEntry.Comment"/> for each <c>ZipEntry</c> in the zip file, for
values that cannot be encoded with the default codepage for zip files,
IBM437. This is why this property is "provisional". In all cases, IBM437
is used where possible, in other words, where no loss of data would
result. It is possible, therefore, to have a given entry with a
<c>Comment</c> encoded in IBM437 and a <c>FileName</c> encoded with the
specified "provisional" codepage.
</para>
<para>
Be aware that a zip file created after you've explicitly set the
<c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c> property to a value other than
IBM437 may not be compliant to the PKWare specification, and may not be
readable by compliant archivers. On the other hand, many (most?)
archivers are non-compliant and can read zip files created in arbitrary
code pages. The trick is to use or specify the proper codepage when
reading the zip.
</para>
<para>
When creating a zip archive using this library, it is possible to change
the value of <c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c> between each entry you
add, and between adding entries and the call to <c>Close()</c>. Don't do
this. It will likely result in a zipfile that is not readable. For best
interoperability, either leave <c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c>
alone, or specify it only once, before adding any entries to the
<c>ZipOutputStream</c> instance. There is one exception to this
recommendation, described later.
</para>
<para>
When using an arbitrary, non-UTF8 code page for encoding, there is no
standard way for the creator application - whether DotNetZip, WinZip,
WinRar, or something else - to formally specify in the zip file which
codepage has been used for the entries. As a result, readers of zip files
are not able to inspect the zip file and determine the codepage that was
used for the entries contained within it. It is left to the application
or user to determine the necessary codepage when reading zip files encoded
this way. If you use an incorrect codepage when reading a zipfile, you
will get entries with filenames that are incorrect, and the incorrect
filenames may even contain characters that are not legal for use within
filenames in Windows. Extracting entries with illegal characters in the
filenames will lead to exceptions. It's too bad, but this is just the way
things are with code pages in zip files. Caveat Emptor.
</para>
<para>
One possible approach for specifying the code page for a given zip file is
to describe the code page in a human-readable form in the Zip comment. For
example, the comment may read "Entries in this archive are encoded in the
Big5 code page". For maximum interoperability, the zip comment in this
case should be encoded in the default, IBM437 code page. In this case,
the zip comment is encoded using a different page than the filenames. To
do this, Specify <c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c> to your desired
region-specific code page, once before adding any entries, and then set
the <see cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipOutputStream.Comment"/> property and reset
<c>ProvisionalAlternateEncoding</c> to IBM437 before calling <c>Close()</c>.

DotNetZip will use multiple threads to compress any ZipEntry, when

larger than the given size. Zero means "always use parallel

</para>
<para>
If the entry size cannot be known before compression, as with any entry
added via a ZipOutputStream, then Parallel deflate will never be
performed, unless the value of this property is zero.
</para>
<para>
A parallel deflate operations will speed up the compression of
large files, on computers with multiple CPUs or multiple CPU
cores. For files above 1mb, on a dual core or dual-cpu (2p)
machine, the time required to compress the file can be 70% of the
single-threaded deflate. For very large files on 4p machines the
compression can be done in 30% of the normal time. The downside
is that parallel deflate consumes extra memory during the deflate,
and the deflation is slightly less effective.
</para>
<para>
Parallel deflate tends to not be as effective as single-threaded deflate
because the original data stream is split into multiple independent
buffers, each of which is compressed in parallel. But because they are
treated independently, there is no opportunity to share compression
dictionaries, and additional framing bytes must be added to the output
stream. For that reason, a deflated stream may be slightly larger when
compressed using parallel deflate, as compared to a traditional
single-threaded deflate. For files of about 512k, the increase over the
normal deflate is as much as 5% of the total compressed size. For larger
files, the difference can be as small as 0.1%.
</para>
<para>
Multi-threaded compression does not give as much an advantage when using
Encryption. This is primarily because encryption tends to slow down
the entire pipeline. Also, multi-threaded compression gives less of an
advantage when using lower compression levels, for example <see
cref="F:Ionic.Zlib.CompressionLevel.BestSpeed"/>. You may have to perform
some tests to determine the best approach for your situation.

cref="M:System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback)">
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem()</see> to compress those
buffers in a background threadpool thread. After a buffer
is compressed, it is re-ordered and written to the output
stream.
</para>
<para>
A higher number of buffer pairs enables a higher degree of
parallelism, which tends to increase the speed of compression on
multi-cpu computers. On the other hand, a higher number of buffer
pairs also implies a larger memory consumption, more active worker
threads, and a higher cpu utilization for any compression. This
property enables the application to limit its memory consumption and
CPU utilization behavior depending on requirements.
</para>
<para>
For each compression "task" that occurs in parallel, there are 2
buffers allocated: one for input and one for output. This property
sets a limit for the number of pairs. The total amount of storage
space allocated for buffering will then be (N*S*2), where N is the
number of buffer pairs, S is the size of each buffer (<see
cref="P:Ionic.Zip.ZipOutputStream.CodecBufferSize"/>). By default, DotNetZip allocates 4 buffer
pairs per CPU core, so if your machine has 4 cores, and you retain
the default buffer size of 128k, then the
ParallelDeflateOutputStream will use 4 * 4 * 2 * 128kb of buffer
memory in total, or 4mb, in blocks of 128kb. If you then set this
property to 8, then the number will be 8 * 2 * 128kb of buffer
memory, or 2mb.
</para>
<para>
CPU utilization will also go up with additional buffers, because a
larger number of buffer pairs allows a larger number of background
threads to compress in parallel. If you find that parallel
compression is consuming too much memory or CPU, you can adjust this
value downward.
</para>
<para>
The default value is 16. Different values may deliver better or
worse results, depending on your priorities and the dynamic
performance characteristics of your storage and compute resources.
</para>
<para>
This property is not the number of buffer pairs to use; it is an
upper limit. An illustration: Suppose you have an application that
uses the default value of this property (which is 16), and it runs
on a machine with 2 CPU cores. In that case, DotNetZip will allocate
4 buffer pairs per CPU core, for a total of 8 pairs. The upper
limit specified by this property has no effect.
</para>
<para>
The application can set this value at any time, but it is
effective only if set before calling
<c>ZipOutputStream.Write()</c> for the first time.

<summary>
FileSelector encapsulates logic that selects files from a source - a zip file

This class can also be used independently of the zip capability in DotNetZip.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The FileSelector class is used internally by the ZipFile class for selecting
files for inclusion into the ZipFile, when the <see

its overloads, is called. It's also used for the <see

application that creates or manipulates Zip archives will not directly
interact with the FileSelector class.
</para>
<para>
Some applications may wish to use the FileSelector class directly, to
select files from disk volumes based on a set of criteria, without creating or
querying Zip archives. The file selection criteria include: a pattern to
match the filename; the last modified, created, or last accessed time of the
file; the size of the file; and the attributes of the file.

<summary>
The string specifying which files to include when retrieving.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Specify the criteria in statements of 3 elements: a noun, an operator,
and a value. Consider the string "name != *.doc" . The noun is
"name". The operator is "!=", implying "Not Equal". The value is
"*.doc". That criterion, in English, says "all files with a name that
does not end in the .doc extension."
</para>
<para>
Supported nouns include "name" (or "filename") for the filename;
"atime", "mtime", and "ctime" for last access time, last modfied time,
and created time of the file, respectively; "attributes" (or "attrs")
for the file attributes; "size" (or "length") for the file length
(uncompressed); and "type" for the type of object, either a file or a
directory. The "attributes", "type", and "name" nouns all support =
and != as operators. The "size", "atime", "mtime", and "ctime" nouns
support = and !=, and &gt;, &gt;=, &lt;, &lt;= as well. The times are
taken to be expressed in local time.
</para>
<para>
Specify values for the file attributes as a string with one or more of
the characters H,R,S,A,I,L in any order, implying file attributes of
Hidden, ReadOnly, System, Archive, NotContextIndexed, and ReparsePoint
(symbolic link) respectively.
</para>
<para>
To specify a time, use YYYY-MM-DD-HH:mm:ss or YYYY/MM/DD-HH:mm:ss as
the format. If you omit the HH:mm:ss portion, it is assumed to be
00:00:00 (midnight).
</para>
<para>
The value for a size criterion is expressed in integer quantities of
bytes, kilobytes (use k or kb after the number), megabytes (m or mb),
or gigabytes (g or gb).
</para>
<para>
The value for a name is a pattern to match against the filename,
potentially including wildcards. The pattern follows CMD.exe glob
rules: * implies one or more of any character, while ? implies one
character. If the name pattern contains any slashes, it is matched to
the entire filename, including the path; otherwise, it is matched
against only the filename without the path. This means a pattern of
"*\*.*" matches all files one directory level deep, while a pattern of
"*.*" matches all files in all directories.
</para>
<para>
To specify a name pattern that includes spaces, use single quotes
around the pattern. A pattern of "'* *.*'" will match all files that
have spaces in the filename. The full criteria string for that would
be "name = '* *.*'" .
</para>
<para>
The value for a type criterion is either F (implying a file) or D
(implying a directory).
</para>

<term>ctime > 2009/01/01-03:00:00</term>
<description>all files with a created time after 3am (local time),

</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>size > 2gb</term>
<description>all files whose uncompressed size is greater than 2gb.
</description>
</item>
<item>
<term>type = D</term>
<description>all directories in the filesystem. </description>
</item>
</list>
<para>
You can combine criteria with the conjunctions AND, OR, and XOR. Using
a string like "name = *.txt AND size &gt;= 100k" for the
selectionCriteria retrieves entries whose names end in .txt, and whose
uncompressed size is greater than or equal to 100 kilobytes.
</para>
<para>
For more complex combinations of criteria, you can use parenthesis to
group clauses in the boolean logic. Absent parenthesis, the
precedence of the criterion atoms is determined by order of
appearance. Unlike the C# language, the AND conjunction does not take
precendence over the logical OR. This is important only in strings
that contain 3 or more criterion atoms. In other words, "name = *.txt
and size &gt; 1000 or attributes = H" implies "((name = *.txt AND size
&gt; 1000) OR attributes = H)" while "attributes = H OR name = *.txt
and size &gt; 1000" evaluates to "((attributes = H OR name = *.txt)
AND size &gt; 1000)". When in doubt, use parenthesis.
</para>
<para>
Using time properties requires some extra care. If you want to
retrieve all entries that were last updated on 2009 February 14,
specify "mtime &gt;= 2009-02-14 AND mtime &lt; 2009-02-15". Read this
to say: all files updated after 12:00am on February 14th, until
12:00am on February 15th. You can use the same bracketing approach to
specify any time period - a year, a month, a week, and so on.
</para>
<para>
The syntax allows one special case: if you provide a string with no
spaces, it is treated as a pattern to match for the filename.
Therefore a string like "*.xls" will be equivalent to specifying "name
= *.xls". This "shorthand" notation does not work with compound
criteria.
</para>
<para>
There is no logic in this class that insures that the inclusion
criteria are internally consistent. For example, it's possible to
specify criteria that says the file must have a size of less than 100
bytes, as well as a size that is greater than 1000 bytes. Obviously
no file will ever satisfy such criteria, but this class does not check
for or detect such inconsistencies.

<summary>
A class for compressing and decompressing GZIP streams.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The <c>GZipStream</c> is a <see
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern">Decorator</see> on a
<see cref="T:System.IO.Stream"/>. It adds GZIP compression or decompression to any
stream.
</para>
<para>
Like the <c>System.IO.Compression.GZipStream</c> in the .NET Base Class Library, the
<c>Ionic.Zlib.GZipStream</c> can compress while writing, or decompress while
reading, but not vice versa. The compression method used is GZIP, which is
documented in <see href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt">IETF RFC
1952</see>, "GZIP file format specification version 4.3".</para>
<para>
A <c>GZipStream</c> can be used to decompress data (through <c>Read()</c>) or
to compress data (through <c>Write()</c>), but not both.
</para>
<para>
If you wish to use the <c>GZipStream</c> to compress data, you must wrap it
around a write-able stream. As you call <c>Write()</c> on the <c>GZipStream</c>, the
data will be compressed into the GZIP format. If you want to decompress data,
you must wrap the <c>GZipStream</c> around a readable stream that contains an
IETF RFC 1952-compliant stream. The data will be decompressed as you call
<c>Read()</c> on the <c>GZipStream</c>.
</para>
<para>
Though the GZIP format allows data from multiple files to be concatenated
together, this stream handles only a single segment of GZIP format, typically
representing a single file.
</para>
<para>
This class is similar to <see cref="T:Ionic.Zlib.ZlibStream"/> and <see cref="T:Ionic.Zlib.DeflateStream"/>.
<c>ZlibStream</c> handles RFC1950-compliant streams. <see cref="T:Ionic.Zlib.DeflateStream"/>
handles RFC1951-compliant streams. This class handles RFC1952-compliant streams.

<member name="P:Ionic.Zlib.GZipStream.Comment">
<summary>
The comment on the GZIP stream.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The GZIP format allows for each file to optionally have an associated
comment stored with the file. The comment is encoded with the ISO-8859-1
code page. To include a comment in a GZIP stream you create, set this
property before calling <c>Write()</c> for the first time on the
<c>GZipStream</c>.
</para>
<para>
When using <c>GZipStream</c> to decompress, you can retrieve this property
after the first call to <c>Read()</c>. If no comment has been set in the
GZIP bytestream, the Comment property will return <c>null</c>
(<c>Nothing</c> in VB).
</para>
</remarks>
</member>
<member name="P:Ionic.Zlib.GZipStream.FileName">
<summary>
The FileName for the GZIP stream.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The GZIP format optionally allows each file to have an associated
filename. When compressing data (through <c>Write()</c>), set this
FileName before calling <c>Write()</c> the first time on the <c>GZipStream</c>.
The actual filename is encoded into the GZIP bytestream with the
ISO-8859-1 code page, according to RFC 1952. It is the application's
responsibility to insure that the FileName can be encoded and decoded
correctly with this code page.
</para>
<para>
When decompressing (through <c>Read()</c>), you can retrieve this value
any time after the first <c>Read()</c>. In the case where there was no filename
encoded into the GZIP bytestream, the property will return <c>null</c> (<c>Nothing</c>
in VB).
</para>
</remarks>
</member>
<member name="F:Ionic.Zlib.GZipStream.LastModified">
<summary>
The last modified time for the GZIP stream.
</summary>
<remarks>
GZIP allows the storage of a last modified time with each GZIP entry.
When compressing data, you can set this before the first call to
<c>Write()</c>. When decompressing, you can retrieve this value any time
after the first call to <c>Read()</c>.

<summary>
A class for compressing streams using the
Deflate algorithm with multiple threads.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This class performs DEFLATE compression through writing. For
more information on the Deflate algorithm, see IETF RFC 1951,
"DEFLATE Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3."
</para>
<para>
This class is similar to <see cref="T:Ionic.Zlib.DeflateStream"/>, except
that this class is for compression only, and this implementation uses an
approach that employs multiple worker threads to perform the DEFLATE. On
a multi-cpu or multi-core computer, the performance of this class can be
significantly higher than the single-threaded DeflateStream, particularly
for larger streams. How large? Anything over 10mb is a good candidate
for parallel compression.
</para>
<para>
The tradeoff is that this class uses more memory and more CPU than the
vanilla DeflateStream, and also is less efficient as a compressor. For
large files the size of the compressed data stream can be less than 1%
larger than the size of a compressed data stream from the vanialla
DeflateStream. For smaller files the difference can be larger. The
difference will also be larger if you set the BufferSize to be lower than
the default value. Your mileage may vary. Finally, for small files, the
ParallelDeflateOutputStream can be much slower than the vanilla
DeflateStream, because of the overhead associated to using the thread
pool.

<example>
This example shows how to use a ParallelDeflateOutputStream to compress
data. It reads a file, compresses it, and writes the compressed data to
a second, output file.
<code>
byte[] buffer = new byte[WORKING_BUFFER_SIZE];
int n= -1;
String outputFile = fileToCompress + ".compressed";
using (System.IO.Stream input = System.IO.File.OpenRead(fileToCompress))
{
using (var raw = System.IO.File.Create(outputFile))
{
using (Stream compressor = new ParallelDeflateOutputStream(raw))
{
while ((n= input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
{
compressor.Write(buffer, 0, n);
}
}
}
}
</code>
<code lang="VB">
Dim buffer As Byte() = New Byte(4096) {}
Dim n As Integer = -1
Dim outputFile As String = (fileToCompress &amp; ".compressed")
Using input As Stream = File.OpenRead(fileToCompress)
Using raw As FileStream = File.Create(outputFile)
Using compressor As Stream = New ParallelDeflateOutputStream(raw)
Do While (n &lt;&gt; 0)
If (n &gt; 0) Then
compressor.Write(buffer, 0, n)
End If
n = input.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)

<member name="P:Ionic.Zlib.ParallelDeflateOutputStream.MaxBufferPairs">
<summary>
The maximum number of buffer pairs to use.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This property sets an upper limit on the number of memory buffer
pairs to create. The implementation of this stream allocates
multiple buffers to facilitate parallel compression. As each buffer
fills up, this stream uses <see
cref="M:System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(System.Threading.WaitCallback)">
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem()</see>
to compress those buffers in a background threadpool thread. After a
buffer is compressed, it is re-ordered and written to the output
stream.
</para>
<para>
A higher number of buffer pairs enables a higher degree of
parallelism, which tends to increase the speed of compression on
multi-cpu computers. On the other hand, a higher number of buffer
pairs also implies a larger memory consumption, more active worker
threads, and a higher cpu utilization for any compression. This
property enables the application to limit its memory consumption and
CPU utilization behavior depending on requirements.
</para>
<para>
For each compression "task" that occurs in parallel, there are 2
buffers allocated: one for input and one for output. This property
sets a limit for the number of pairs. The total amount of storage
space allocated for buffering will then be (N*S*2), where N is the
number of buffer pairs, S is the size of each buffer (<see
cref="P:Ionic.Zlib.ParallelDeflateOutputStream.BufferSize"/>). By default, DotNetZip allocates 4 buffer
pairs per CPU core, so if your machine has 4 cores, and you retain
the default buffer size of 128k, then the
ParallelDeflateOutputStream will use 4 * 4 * 2 * 128kb of buffer
memory in total, or 4mb, in blocks of 128kb. If you then set this
property to 8, then the number will be 8 * 2 * 128kb of buffer
memory, or 2mb.
</para>
<para>
CPU utilization will also go up with additional buffers, because a
larger number of buffer pairs allows a larger number of background
threads to compress in parallel. If you find that parallel
compression is consuming too much memory or CPU, you can adjust this
value downward.
</para>
<para>
The default value is 16. Different values may deliver better or
worse results, depending on your priorities and the dynamic
performance characteristics of your storage and compute resources.
</para>
<para>
This property is not the number of buffer pairs to use; it is an
upper limit. An illustration: Suppose you have an application that
uses the default value of this property (which is 16), and it runs
on a machine with 2 CPU cores. In that case, DotNetZip will allocate
4 buffer pairs per CPU core, for a total of 8 pairs. The upper
limit specified by this property has no effect.
</para>
<para>
The application can set this value at any time, but it is effective
only before the first call to Write(), which is when the buffers are
allocated.
</para>
</remarks>
</member>
<member name="P:Ionic.Zlib.ParallelDeflateOutputStream.BufferSize">
<summary>
The size of the buffers used by the compressor threads.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The default buffer size is 128k. The application can set this value
at any time, but it is effective only before the first Write().
</para>
<para>
Larger buffer sizes implies larger memory consumption but allows
more efficient compression. Using smaller buffer sizes consumes less
memory but may result in less effective compression. For example,
using the default buffer size of 128k, the compression delivered is
within 1% of the compression delivered by the single-threaded <see
cref="T:Ionic.Zlib.DeflateStream"/>. On the other hand, using a
BufferSize of 8k can result in a compressed data stream that is 5%
larger than that delivered by the single-threaded
<c>DeflateStream</c>. Excessively small buffer sizes can also cause
the speed of the ParallelDeflateOutputStream to drop, because of
larger thread scheduling overhead dealing with many many small
buffers.
</para>
<para>
The total amount of storage space allocated for buffering will be
(N*S*2), where N is the number of buffer pairs, and S is the size of
each buffer (this property). There are 2 buffers used by the
compressor, one for input and one for output. By default, DotNetZip
allocates 4 buffer pairs per CPU core, so if your machine has 4
cores, then the number of buffer pairs used will be 16. If you
accept the default value of this property, 128k, then the
ParallelDeflateOutputStream will use 16 * 2 * 128kb of buffer memory
in total, or 4mb, in blocks of 128kb. If you set this property to
64kb, then the number will be 16 * 2 * 64kb of buffer memory, or
2mb.

This gauges the size of the sliding window, and hence the

setting alone if you don't know what it is. The maximum value is 15 bits, which implies
a 32k window.

<summary>
The compression strategy to use.

<remarks>
This is only effective in compression. The theory offered by ZLIB is that different
strategies could potentially produce significant differences in compression behavior
for different data sets. Unfortunately I don't have any good recommendations for how
to set it differently. When I tested changing the strategy I got minimally different
compression performance. It's best to leave this property alone if you don't have a
good feel for it. Or, you may want to produce a test harness that runs through the
different strategy options and evaluates them on different file types. If you do that,
let me know your results.

<member name="P:Ionic.Zlib.ZlibStream.BufferSize">
<summary>
The size of the working buffer for the compression codec.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The working buffer is used for all stream operations. The default size is
1024 bytes. The minimum size is 128 bytes. You may get better performance
with a larger buffer. Then again, you might not. You would have to test
it.

Set this before the first call to <c>Read()</c> or <c>Write()</c> on the
stream. If you try to set it afterwards, it will throw.

</para>
<para>
This method may be invoked in two distinct scenarios. If disposing
== true, the method has been called directly or indirectly by a
user's code, for example via the public Dispose() method. In this
case, both managed and unmanaged resources can be referenced and
disposed. If disposing == false, the method has been called by the
runtime from inside the object finalizer and this method should not
reference other objects; in that case only unmanaged resources must
be referenced or disposed.
