NAME

       streamzip - create a zip file from stdin

SYNOPSIS

           producer | streamzip [opts] | consumer
           producer | streamzip [opts] -zipfile=output.zip

DESCRIPTION

       This program will read data from stdin, compress it into a zip container and, by default,
       write a streamed zip file to stdout. No temporary files are created.

       The zip container written to stdout is, by necessity, written in streaming format.  Most
       programs that read Zip files can cope with a streamed zip file, but if interoperability is
       important, and your workflow allows you to write the zip file directly to disk you can
       create a non-streamed zip file using the "zipfile" option.

   OPTIONS
       -zip64
            Create a Zip64-compliant zip container.  Use this option if the input is greater than
            4Gig.

            Default is disabled.

       -zipfile=F
            Write zip container to the filename F.

            Use the "Stream" option to enable the creation of a  streamed zip file.

       -member-name=M
            This option is used to name the "file" in the zip container.

            Default is '-'.

       -stream
            Ignored when writing to stdout.

            If the "zipfile" option is specified, including this option will trigger the creation
            of a streamed zip file.

            Default: Always enabled when writing to stdout, otherwise disabled.

       -method=M
            Compress using method "M".

            Valid method names are

                * store    Store without compression
                * deflate  Use Deflate compression [Deflault]
                * bzip2    Use Bzip2 compression
                * lzma     Use LZMA compression

            Note that Lzma compress needs IO::Compress::Lzma to be installed.

            Default is deflate.

       -version
            Display version number [$VERSION]

       -help
            Display help

   When to use a Streamed Zip File
       A Zip file created with streaming mode enabled allows you to create a zip file in
       situations where you cannot seek backwards/forwards in the file.

       A good examples is when you are serving dynamic content from a Web Server straight into a
       socket without needing to create a temporary zip file in the filesystsm.

       Similarly if your workfow uses a Linux pipelined commands.
