# std.zip

Read and write data in the zip archive format.
Standards:
The current implementation mostly conforms to ISO/IEC 21320-1:2015, which means,

- that files can only be stored uncompressed or using the deflate mechanism,
- that encryption features are not used,
- that digital signature features are not used,
- that patched data features are not used, and
- that archives may not span multiple volumes.

Additionally, archives are checked for malware attacks and rejected if detected. This includes

- zip bombs which generate gigantic amounts of unpacked data
- zip archives that contain overlapping records
- chameleon zip archives which generate different unpacked data, depending on the implementation of the unpack algorithm

The current implementation makes use of the zlib compression library.

Usage There are two main ways of usage: Extracting files from a zip archive and storing files into a zip archive. These can be mixed though (e.g. read an archive, remove some files, add others and write the new archive).

Examples:
Example for reading an existing zip archive:

    import std.stdio : writeln, writefln;
    import std.file : read;
    import std.zip;

    void main(string[] args)
    {
        // read a zip file into memory
        auto zip = new ZipArchive(read(args[1]));

        // iterate over all zip members
        writefln("%-10s  %-8s  Name", "Length", "CRC-32");
        foreach (name, am; zip.directory)
        {
            // print some data about each member
            writefln("%10s  %08x  %s", am.expandedSize, am.crc32, name);
            assert(am.expandedData.length == 0);

            // decompress the archive member
            zip.expand(am);
            assert(am.expandedData.length == am.expandedSize);
        }
    }

Example for writing files into a zip archive:

    import std.file : write;
    import std.string : representation;
    import std.zip;

    void main()
    {
        // Create an ArchiveMembers for each file.
        ArchiveMember file1 = new ArchiveMember();
        file1.name = "test1.txt";
        file1.expandedData("Test data.\n".dup.representation);
        file1.compressionMethod = CompressionMethod.none; // don't compress

        ArchiveMember file2 = new ArchiveMember();
        file2.name = "test2.txt";
        file2.expandedData("More test data.\n".dup.representation);
        file2.compressionMethod = CompressionMethod.deflate; // compress

        // Create an archive and add the member.
        ZipArchive zip = new ZipArchive();

        // add ArchiveMembers
        zip.addMember(file1);
        zip.addMember(file2);

        // Build the archive
        void[] compressed_data = zip.build();

        // Write to a file
        write("test.zip", compressed_data);
    }

enum `CompressionMethod`: ushort;

class `ArchiveMember`;
  A single file or directory inside the archive.

  string `comment`;
    Comment associated with this member.
  ushort `flags`;
    Contains some information on how to extract this archive. See original documentation for details.
  ushort `internalAttributes`;
    Internal attributes. Bit 1 is set, if the member is apparently in binary format and bit 2 is set, if each record is preceded by the length of the record.
  const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe ushort `extractVersion`();
    The zip file format version needed to extract this member.

    Format version needed to extract this member.
  const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe uint `crc32`();
    Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value.
    Returns:
    CRC32 value.
  const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe uint `compressedSize`();

  pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe ubyte[] `compressedData`();
    Data of member in compressed form.
    Returns:
    The file data in compressed form.
  pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe ubyte[] `expandedData`();
  @property @safe void `expandedData`(ubyte[] `ed`);
    Get or set data of member in uncompressed form. When an existing archive is read ZipArchive.expand needs to be called before this can be accessed.

    Returns:
    The file attributes or 0 if the file attributes were encoded for an incompatible OS (Windows vs. POSIX).
  const pure nothrow @nogc @property @safe DosFileTime `time`();
