java.util.zip.ZipEntry (JDK 1.1)

This class describes a single entry (typically a compressed file) stored within a ZIP file. The various methods get and set various pieces of information about the entry. The ZipEntry class is used by the ZipFile and ZipInputStream, which read ZIP files, and by the ZipOutputStream, which writes ZIP files.

When reading a ZIP file, the ZipEntry objects returned by the ZipFile or ZipInputStream contain the name, size, modification time, and other information about each entry in the file. When writing a ZIP file, on the other hand, you must create your own ZipEntry objects, and initialize them to contain the entry name and other appropriate information before writing the contents of the entry.

 // Public Constructor public ZipEntry(String name); // Constants public static final int DEFLATED;
