Struct zip::write::ZipWriter

pub struct ZipWriter<W: Write + Seek> {
    // some fields omitted
}

Generator for ZIP files.

fn doit() -> zip::result::ZipResult<()>
{
    use std::io::Write;

    // For this example we write to a buffer, but normally you should use a File
    let mut buf: &mut [u8] = &mut [0u8; 65536];
    let mut w = std::io::Cursor::new(buf);
    let mut zip = zip::ZipWriter::new(w);

    try!(zip.start_file("hello_world.txt", zip::CompressionMethod::Stored));
    try!(zip.write(b"Hello, World!"));

    // Optionally finish the zip. (this is also done on drop)
    try!(zip.finish());

    Ok(())
}

Methods

impl<W: Write + Seek> ZipWriter<W>

fn new(inner: W) -> ZipWriter<W>

Initializes the ZipWriter.

Before writing to this object, the start_file command should be called.

fn start_file<S>(&mut self, name: S, compression: CompressionMethod) -> ZipResult<()> where S: Into<String>

Start a new file for with the requested compression method.

fn finish(self) -> ZipResult<W>

Finish the last file and write all other zip-structures

This will return the writer, but one should normally not append any data to the end of the file.
Note that the zipfile will also be finished on drop.

Trait Implementations

impl<W: Write + Seek> Write for ZipWriter<W>

fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>

Write a buffer into this object, returning how many bytes were written.

fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flush this output stream, ensuring that all intermediately buffered contents reach their destination.

fn write_all(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Attempts to write an entire buffer into this write.

fn write_fmt(&mut self, fmt: Arguments) -> Result<(), Error>

Writes a formatted string into this writer, returning any error encountered.

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

Creates a "by reference" adaptor for this instance of Write.

impl<W: Write + Seek> Drop for ZipWriter<W>

fn drop(&mut self)

A method called when the value goes out of scope.
