Constructor Detail

### ZipFile

    public ZipFile(String name)
            throws IOException

  Opens a zip file for reading.

  First, if there is a security manager, its `checkRead` method is called with the `name` argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the zip file
  Throws:
    `ZipException` - if a ZIP format error has occurred
    `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and its `checkRead` method doesn't allow read access to the file.
  See Also:
    `SecurityManager.checkRead(java.lang.String)`

### ZipFile

    public ZipFile(File file,
                   int mode)
            throws IOException

  Opens a new `ZipFile` to read from the specified `File` object in the specified mode. The mode argument must be either `OPEN_READ` or `OPEN_READ | OPEN_DELETE`.

  First, if there is a security manager, its `checkRead` method is called with the `name` argument as its argument to ensure the read is allowed.

  Parameters:
    `file` - the ZIP file to be opened for reading
    `mode` - the mode in which the file is to be opened
  Throws:
    `ZipException` - if a ZIP format error has occurred
    `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
    `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and its `checkRead` method doesn't allow read access to the file, or its `checkDelete` method doesn't allow deleting the file when the `OPEN_DELETE` flag is set.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the `mode` argument is invalid
  Since:
    1.3
  See Also:
    `SecurityManager.checkRead(java.lang.String)`

### ZipFile

    public ZipFile(File file)
            throws ZipException,
                   IOException

  Opens a ZIP file for reading given the specified File object.

  Parameters:
    `file` - the ZIP file to be opened for reading
  Throws:
    `ZipException` - if a ZIP error has occurred
    `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

Method Detail

### getEntry

    public ZipEntry getEntry(String name)

  Returns the zip file entry for the specified name, or null if not found.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the entry
  Returns:
    the zip file entry, or null if not found
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the zip file has been closed

### getInputStream

    public InputStream getInputStream(ZipEntry entry)
                               throws IOException

  Returns an input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.

  Closing this ZIP file will, in turn, close all input streams that have been returned by invocations of this method.

  Parameters:
    `entry` - the zip file entry
  Returns:
    the input stream for reading the contents of the specified zip file entry.
  Throws:
    `ZipException` - if a ZIP format error has occurred
    `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
    `IllegalStateException` - if the zip file has been closed

### getName

    public String getName()

  Returns the path name of the ZIP file.

  Returns:
    the path name of the ZIP file

### entries

    public Enumeration<? extends ZipEntry> entries()

  Returns an enumeration of the ZIP file entries.

  Returns:
    an enumeration of the ZIP file entries
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the zip file has been closed

### size

    public int size()

  Returns the number of entries in the ZIP file.

  Returns:
    the number of entries in the ZIP file
  Throws:
    `IllegalStateException` - if the zip file has been closed

### close

    public void close()
               throws IOException

  Closes the ZIP file.

  Closing this ZIP file will close all of the input streams previously returned by invocations of the `getInputStream` method.

  Throws:
    `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

### finalize

    protected void finalize()
                     throws IOException

  Ensures that the `close` method of this ZIP file is called when there are no more references to it.

  Since the time when GC would invoke this method is undetermined, it is strongly recommended that applications invoke the `close` method as soon they have finished accessing this `ZipFile`. This will prevent holding up system resources for an undetermined length of time.

  Overrides:
    `finalize` in class `Object`
  Throws:
    `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
  See Also:
    `close()`
