- ## Constructor Details

  - ### ZipOutputStream

    public ZipOutputStream(OutputStream out)
    Creates a new ZIP output stream.

    The UTF-8 `charset` is used to encode the entry names and comments.

    Parameters:
      `out` - the actual output stream

  - ### ZipOutputStream

    public ZipOutputStream(OutputStream out, Charset charset)
    Creates a new ZIP output stream.
    Parameters:
      `out` - the actual output stream
      `charset` - the charset to be used to encode the entry names and comments
    Since:
      1.7

- ## Method Details

  - ### setComment

    public void setComment(String comment)
    Sets the ZIP file comment.
    Parameters:
      `comment` - the comment string
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the length of the specified ZIP file comment is greater than 0xFFFF bytes

  - ### setMethod

    public void setMethod(int method)
    Sets the default compression method for subsequent entries. This default will be used whenever the compression method is not specified for an individual ZIP file entry, and is initially set to DEFLATED.
    Parameters:
      `method` - the default compression method
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the specified compression method is invalid

  - ### setLevel

    public void setLevel(int level)
    Sets the compression level for subsequent entries which are DEFLATED. The default setting is DEFAULT_COMPRESSION.
    Parameters:
      `level` - the compression level (0-9)
    Throws:
      `IllegalArgumentException` - if the compression level is invalid

  - ### putNextEntry

    public void putNextEntry(ZipEntry e) throws IOException
    Begins writing a new ZIP file entry and positions the stream to the start of the entry data. Closes the current entry if still active.

    The default compression method will be used if no compression method was specified for the entry. When writing a compressed (DEFLATED) entry, and the compressed size has not been explicitly set with the `ZipEntry.setCompressedSize(long)` method, then the compressed size will be set to the actual compressed size after deflation.

    The current time will be used if the entry has no set modification time.

    API Note:
      When writing a directory entry, the STORED compression method should be used and the size and CRC-32 values should be set to 0:

               ZipEntry e = new ZipEntry(entryName);
               if (e.isDirectory()) {
                   e.setMethod(ZipEntry.STORED);
                   e.setSize(0);
                   e.setCrc(0);
               }
               stream.putNextEntry(e);

      This allows optimal performance when processing directory entries.
    Parameters:
      `e` - the ZIP entry to be written
    Throws:
      `ZipException` - if a ZIP format error has occurred
      `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

  - ### closeEntry

    public void closeEntry() throws IOException
    Closes the current ZIP entry and positions the stream for writing the next entry.
    Throws:
      `ZipException` - if a ZIP format error has occurred
      `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

  - ### write

    public void write(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
    Writes an array of bytes to the current ZIP entry data. This method will block until all the bytes are written.
    Overrides:
      `write` in class `DeflaterOutputStream`
    Parameters:
      `b` - the data to be written
      `off` - the start offset in the data
      `len` - the number of bytes that are written
    Throws:
      `ZipException` - if a ZIP file error has occurred
      `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
    See Also:
      - `FilterOutputStream.write(int)`

  - ### finish

    public void finish() throws IOException
    Finishes writing the contents of the ZIP output stream without closing the underlying stream. Use this method when applying multiple filters in succession to the same output stream.

    A ZipException will be thrown if the combined length, after encoding, of the entry name, the extra field data, the entry comment and CEN Header size, exceeds 65,535 bytes.

    Overrides:
      `finish` in class `DeflaterOutputStream`
    Throws:
      `ZipException` - if a ZIP file error has occurred
      `IOException` - if an I/O exception has occurred

  - ### close

    public void close() throws IOException
    Closes the underlying stream and the stream being filtered after the contents of the ZIP output stream are fully written.
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
    Specified by:
      `close` in interface `Closeable`
    Overrides:
      `close` in class `DeflaterOutputStream`
    Throws:
      `ZipException` - if a ZIP file error has occurred
      `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
