-# yazl
-
-yet another zip library for node. For unzipping, see
-[yauzl](https://github.com/thejoshwolfe/yauzl).
-
-Design principles:
-
- * Don't block the JavaScript thread.
- Use and provide async APIs.
- * Keep memory usage under control.
- Don't attempt to buffer entire files in RAM at once.
- * Prefer to open input files one at a time than all at once.
- This is slightly suboptimal for time performance,
- but avoids OS-imposed limits on the number of simultaneously open file handles.
-
-## Usage
-
-```js
-var yazl = require("yazl");
-
-var zipfile = new yazl.ZipFile();
-zipfile.addFile("file1.txt", "file1.txt");
-// (add only files, not directories)
-zipfile.addFile("path/to/file.txt", "path/in/zipfile.txt");
-// pipe() can be called any time after the constructor
-zipfile.outputStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream("output.zip")).on("close", function() {
- console.log("done");
-});
-// alternate apis for adding files:
-zipfile.addReadStream(process.stdin, "stdin.txt", {
- mtime: new Date(),
- mode: parseInt("0100664", 8), // -rw-rw-r--
-});
-zipfile.addBuffer(new Buffer("hello"), "hello.txt", {
- mtime: new Date(),
- mode: parseInt("0100664", 8), // -rw-rw-r--
-});
-// call end() after all the files have been added
-zipfile.end();
-```

-## API
-
-### Class: ZipFile
-
-#### new ZipFile()
-
-No parameters.
-Nothing can go wrong.
-
-#### addFile(realPath, metadataPath, [options])
-
-Adds a file from the file system at `realPath` into the zipfile as `metadataPath`.
-Typically `metadataPath` would be calculated as `path.relative(root, realPath)`.
-Unzip programs would extract the file from the zipfile as `metadataPath`.
-`realPath` is not stored in the zipfile.
-
-A valid `metadataPath` must not be blank.
-If a `metadataPath` contains `"\\"` characters, they will be replaced by `"/"` characters.
-After this substitution, a valid `metadataPath` must not start with `"/"` or `/[A-Za-z]:\//`,
-and must not contain `".."` path segments.
-File paths must not end with `"/"`.
-
-`options` may be omitted or null and has the following structure and default values:
-
-```js
-{
- mtime: stats.mtime,
- mode: stats.mode,
- compress: true,
- forceZip64Format: false,
-}
-```
-
-Use `mtime` and/or `mode` to override the values
-that would normally be obtained by the `fs.Stats` for the `realPath`.
-The mode is the unix permission bits and file type.
-The mtime and mode are stored in the zip file in the fields "last mod file time",
-"last mod file date", and "external file attributes".
-yazl does not store group and user ids in the zip file.
-
-If `compress` is `true`, the file data will be deflated (compression method 8).
-If `compress` is `false`, the file data will be stored (compression method 0).
-
-If `forceZip64Format` is `true`, yazl will use ZIP64 format in this entry's Data Descriptor
-and Central Directory Record regardless of if it's required or not (this may be useful for testing.).
-Otherwise, yazl will use ZIP64 format where necessary.
-
-Internally, `fs.stat()` is called immediately in the `addFile` function,
-and `fs.createReadStream()` is used later when the file data is actually required.
-Throughout adding and encoding `n` files with `addFile()`,
-the number of simultaneous open files is `O(1)`, probably just 1 at a time.
-
-#### addReadStream(readStream, metadataPath, [options])
-
-Adds a file to the zip file whose content is read from `readStream`.
-See `addFile()` for info about the `metadataPath` parameter.
-`options` may be omitted or null and has the following structure and default values:
-
-```js
-{
- mtime: new Date(),
- mode: parseInt("0100664", 8),
- compress: true,
- forceZip64Format: false,
- size: 12345, // example value
-}
-```
-
-See `addFile()` for the meaning of `mtime`, `mode`, `compress`, and `forceZip64Format`.
-If `size` is given, it will be checked against the actual number of bytes in the `readStream`,
-and an error will be emitted if there is a mismatch.
-
-Note that yazl will `.pipe()` data from `readStream`, so be careful using `.on('data')`.
-In certain versions of node, `.on('data')` makes `.pipe()` behave incorrectly.
-
-#### addBuffer(buffer, metadataPath, [options])
-
-Adds a file to the zip file whose content is `buffer`.
-See below for info on the limitations on the size of `buffer`.
-See `addFile()` for info about the `metadataPath` parameter.
-`options` may be omitted or null and has the following structure and default values:
-
-```js
-{
- mtime: new Date(),
- mode: parseInt("0100664", 8),
- compress: true,
- forceZip64Format: false,
-}
-```
-
-See `addFile()` for the meaning of `mtime`, `mode`, `compress`, and `forceZip64Format`.
-
-This method has the unique property that General Purpose Bit `3` will not be used in the Local File Header.
-This doesn't matter for unzip implementations that conform to the Zip File Spec.
-However, 7-Zip 9.20 has a known bug where General Purpose Bit `3` is declared an unsupported compression method
-(note that it really has nothing to do with the compression method.).
-See [issue #11](https://github.com/thejoshwolfe/yazl/issues/11).
-If you would like to create zip files that 7-Zip 9.20 can understand,
-you must use `addBuffer()` instead of `addFile()` or `addReadStream()` for all entries in the zip file
-(and `addEmptyDirectory()` is fine too).
-
-Note that even when yazl provides the file sizes in the Local File Header,
-yazl never uses ZIP64 format for Local File Headers due to the size limit on `buffer` (see below).
-
-##### Size limitation on buffer
-
-In order to require the ZIP64 format for a local file header,
-the provided `buffer` parameter would need to exceed `0xfffffffe` in length.
-Alternatively, the `buffer` parameter might not exceed `0xfffffffe` in length,
-but zlib compression fails to compress the buffer and actually inflates the data to more than `0xfffffffe` in length.
-Both of these scenarios are not allowed by yazl, and those are enforced by a size limit on the `buffer` parameter.
-
-According to [this zlib documentation](http://www.zlib.net/zlib_tech.html),
-the worst case compression results in "an expansion of at most 13.5%, plus eleven bytes".
-Furthermore, some configurations of Node.js impose a size limit of `0x3fffffff` on every `Buffer` object.
-Running this size through the worst case compression of zlib still produces a size less than `0xfffffffe` bytes,
-
-Therefore, yazl enforces that the provided `buffer` parameter must be at most `0x3fffffff` bytes long.
-
-#### addEmptyDirectory(metadataPath, [options])
-
-Adds an entry to the zip file that indicates a directory should be created,
-even if no other items in the zip file are contained in the directory.
-This method is only required if the zip file is intended to contain an empty directory.
-
-See `addFile()` for info about the `metadataPath` parameter.
-If `metadataPath` does not end with a `"/"`, a `"/"` will be appended.
-
-`options` may be omitted or null and has the following structure and default values:
-
-```js
-{
- mtime: new Date(),
- mode: 040775,
-}
-```
-
-See `addFile()` for the meaning of `mtime` and `mode`.
-
-#### end([options], [finalSizeCallback])
-
-Indicates that no more files will be added via `addFile()`, `addReadStream()`, or `addBuffer()`.
-
-`options` may be omitted or null and has the following structure and default values:
-
-```js
-{
- forceZip64Format: false,
-}
-```
-
-If `forceZip64Format` is `true`, yazl will include the ZIP64 End of Central Directory Locator
-and ZIP64 End of Central Directory Record regardless of whether or not they are required
-(this may be useful for testing.).
-Otherwise, yazl will include these structures if necessary.
-
-If specified and non-null, `finalSizeCallback` is given the parameters `(finalSize)`
-sometime during or after the call to `end()`.
-`finalSize` is of type `Number` and can either be `-1`
-or the guaranteed eventual size in bytes of the output data that can be read from `outputStream`.
-
-Note that `finalSizeCallback` is usually called well before `outputStream` has piped all its data;
-this callback does not mean that the stream is done.
-
-If `finalSize` is `-1`, it means means the final size is too hard to guess before processing the input file data.
-This will happen if and only if the `compress` option is `true` on any call to `addFile()`, `addReadStream()`, or `addBuffer()`,
-or if `addReadStream()` is called and the optional `size` option is not given.
-In other words, clients should know whether they're going to get a `-1` or a real value
-by looking at how they are using this library.
-
-The call to `finalSizeCallback` might be delayed if yazl is still waiting for `fs.Stats` for an `addFile()` entry.
-If `addFile()` was never called, `finalSizeCallback` will be called during the call to `end()`.
-It is not required to start piping data from `outputStream` before `finalSizeCallback` is called.
-`finalSizeCallback` will be called only once, and only if this is the first call to `end()`.
-
-#### outputStream
-
-A readable stream that will produce the contents of the zip file.
-It is typical to pipe this stream to a writable stream created from `fs.createWriteStream()`.
-
-Internally, large amounts of file data are piped to `outputStream` using `pipe()`,
-which means throttling happens appropriately when this stream is piped to a slow destination.
-
-Data becomes available in this stream soon after calling one of `addFile()`, `addReadStream()`, or `addBuffer()`.
-Clients can call `pipe()` on this stream at any time,
-such as immediately after getting a new `ZipFile` instance, or long after calling `end()`.
-
-As a reminder, be careful using both `.on('data')` and `.pipe()` with this stream.
-In certain versions of node, you cannot use both `.on('data')` and `.pipe()` successfully.
-
-### dateToDosDateTime(jsDate)
-
-`jsDate` is a `Date` instance.
-Returns `{date: date, time: time}`, where `date` and `time` are unsigned 16-bit integers.
-
-## Regarding ZIP64 Support
-
-yazl automatically uses ZIP64 format to support files and archives over `2^32 - 2` bytes (~4GB) in size
-and to support archives with more than `2^16 - 2` (65534) files.
-(See the `forceZip64Format` option in the API above for more control over this behavior.)
-ZIP64 format is necessary to exceed the limits inherent in the original zip file format.
-
-ZIP64 format is supported by most popular zipfile readers, but not by all of them.
-Notably, the Mac Archive Utility does not understand ZIP64 format (as of writing this),
-and will behave very strangely when presented with such an archive.
-
-## Output Structure
-
-The Zip File Spec leaves a lot of flexibility up to the zip file creator.
-This section explains and justifies yazl's interpretation and decisions regarding this flexibility.
-
-This section is probably not useful to yazl clients,
-but may be interesting to unzip implementors and zip file enthusiasts.
-
-### Disk Numbers
-
-All values related to disk numbers are `0`,
-because yazl has no multi-disk archive support.
-(The exception being the Total Number of Disks field in
-the ZIP64 End of Central Directory Locator, which is always `1`.)
-
-### Version Made By
-
-Always `0x033f == (3 << 8) | 63`, which means UNIX (3)
-and made from the spec version 6.3 (63).
-
-Note that the "UNIX" and has implications in the External File Attributes.
-
-### Version Needed to Extract
-
-Usually `20`, meaning 2.0. This allows filenames to be UTF-8 encoded.
-
-When ZIP64 format is used, some of the Version Needed to Extract values will be `45`, meaning 4.5.
-When this happens, there may be a mix of `20` and `45` values throughout the zipfile.
-
-### General Purpose Bit Flag
-
-Bit `8` is always set.
-Filenames are always encoded in utf8, even if the result is indistinguishable from ascii.
-
-Bit `3` is usually set in the Local File Header.
-To support both a streaming input and streaming output api,
-it is impossible to know the crc32 before processing the file data.
-When bit `3` is set, data Descriptors are given after each file data with this information, as per the spec.
-But remember a complete metadata listing is still always available in the central directory record,
-so if unzip implementations are relying on that, like they should,
-none of this paragraph will matter anyway.
-Even so, some popular unzip implementations do not follow the spec.
-The Mac Archive Utility requires Data Descriptors to include the optional signature,
-so yazl includes the optional data descriptor signature.
-When bit `3` is not used, the Mac Archive Utility requires there to be no data descriptor, so yazl skips it in that case.
-Additionally, 7-Zip 9.20 does not seem to support bit `3` at all
-(see [issue #11](https://github.com/thejoshwolfe/yazl/issues/11)).
-
-All other bits are unset.
-
-### Internal File Attributes
-
-Always `0`.
-The "apparently an ASCII or text file" bit is always unset meaning "apparently binary".
-This kind of determination is outside the scope of yazl,
-and is probably not significant in any modern unzip implementation.
-
-### External File Attributes
-
-Always `stats.mode << 16`.
-This is apparently the convention for "version made by" = `0x03xx` (UNIX).
-
-Note that for directory entries (see `addEmptyDirectory()`),
-it is conventional to use the lower 8 bits for the MS-DOS directory attribute byte.
-However, the spec says this is only required if the Version Made By is DOS,
-so this library does not do that.
-
-### Directory Entries
-
-When adding a `metadataPath` such as `"parent/file.txt"`, yazl does not add a directory entry for `"parent/"`,
-because file entries imply the need for their parent directories.
-Unzip clients seem to respect this style of pathing,
-and the zip file spec does not specify what is standard in this regard.
-
-In order to create empty directories, use `addEmptyDirectory()`.
