streamzip \- create a zip file from stdin

.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2

.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This program will read data from \f(CW\*(C`stdin\*(C'\fR, compress it into a zip container
and, by default, write a \fIstreamed\fR zip file to \f(CW\*(C`stdout\*(C'\fR. No temporary
files are created.
.PP
The zip container written to \f(CW\*(C`stdout\*(C'\fR is, by necessity, written in
streaming format. Most programs that read Zip files can cope with a
streamed zip file, but if interoperability is important, and your workflow
allows you to write the zip file directly to disk you can create a
non-streamed zip file using the \f(CW\*(C`zipfile\*(C'\fR option.
.SS "\s-1OPTIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "OPTIONS"
.IP "\-zip64" 5
.IX Item "-zip64"
Create a Zip64\-compliant zip container. Use this option if the input is
greater than 4Gig.
.Sp
Default is disabled.
.IP "\-zipfile=F" 5
.IX Item "-zipfile=F"
Write zip container to the filename \f(CW\*(C`F\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
Use the \f(CW\*(C`Stream\*(C'\fR option to force the creation of a streamed zip file.
.IP "\-member\-name=M" 5
.IX Item "-member-name=M"
This option is used to name the \*(L"file\*(R" in the zip container.
.Sp
Default is '\-'.
.IP "\-stream" 5
.IX Item "-stream"
Ignored when writing to \f(CW\*(C`stdout\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
If the \f(CW\*(C`zipfile\*(C'\fR option is specified, including this option will trigger
the creation of a streamed zip file.
.Sp
Default: Always enabled when writing to \f(CW\*(C`stdout\*(C'\fR, otherwise disabled.
.IP "\-method=M" 5
.IX Item "-method=M"
Compress using method \f(CW\*(C`M\*(C'\fR.
.Sp
Valid method names are
.Sp
.Vb 6
\& * store Store without compression
\& * deflate Use Deflate compression [Deflault]
\& * bzip2 Use Bzip2 compression
\& * lzma Use LZMA compression
\& * xz Use xz compression
\& * zstd Use Zstandard compression
.Ve
.Sp
Note that Lzma compress needs \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Lzma\*(C'\fR to be installed.
.Sp
Note that Zstd compress needs \f(CW\*(C`IO::Compress::Zstd\*(C'\fR to be installed.
.Sp
Default is \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\-0, \-1, \-2, \-3, \-4, \-5, \-6, \-7, \-8, \-9" 5
.IX Item "-0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9"
Sets the compression level for \f(CW\*(C`deflate\*(C'\fR. Ignored for all other compression methods.
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-0\*(C'\fR means no compression and \f(CW\*(C`\-9\*(C'\fR for maximum compression.
.Sp
Default is 6

Check the contents of \f(CW\*(C`abcd,zip\*(C'\fR with the standard \f(CW\*(C`unzip\*(C'\fR utility
.PP

.PP
Notice how the \f(CW\*(C`Name\*(C'\fR is set to \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR.
That is the default for a few zip utilities whwre the member name is not given.
.PP
If you want to explicitly name the file, use the \f(CW\*(C`\-member\-name\*(C'\fR option as follows
.PP
.Vb 1
\& $ echo Lorem ipsum dolor sit | perl ./bin/streamzip \-member\-name latin >abcd.zip
\&
\& $ unzip \-l abcd.zip

.SS "When to write a Streamed Zip File"
.IX Subsection "When to write a Streamed Zip File"
A Streamed Zip File is useful in situations where you cannot seek
backwards/forwards in the file.
.PP
A good examples is when you are serving dynamic content from a Web Server
straight into a socket without needing to create a temporary zip file in
the filesystsm.
.PP
Similarly if your workfow uses a Linux pipelined commands.
