Java.util.zip.ZipEntry class in Java

Last Updated : 12 Sep, 2023

This class is used to represent a ZIP file entry.
Constructors

ZipEntry(String name) : Creates a new zip entry with the specified name.
ZipEntry(ZipEntry e) : Creates a new zip entry with fields taken from the specified zip entry.

Methods:

Object clone() : Returns a copy of this entry.

Syntax :public Object clone()  Overrides:  clone in class Object  Returns:  a clone of this instance.

String getComment() : Returns the comment string for the entry, or null if none.

Syntax :public String getComment()  Returns:  the comment string for the entry, or null if none

long getCompressedSize() : Returns the size of the compressed entry data, or -1 if not known.In the case of a stored entry, the compressed size will be the same as the uncompressed size of the entry.
```
Syntax :public long getCompressedSize()  Returns:  the size of the compressed entry data, or -1 if not known
```

long getCrc() : Returns the CRC-32 checksum of the uncompressed entry data, or -1 if not known.

Syntax :public long getCrc()  Returns:  the CRC-32 checksum of the uncompressed entry data, or -1 if not known

byte[] getExtra() : Returns the extra field data for the entry, or null if none.

Syntax :=public byte[] getExtra()  Returns:  the extra field data for the entry, or null if none

int getMethod() : Returns the compression method of the entry, or -1 if not specified.

Syntax :public int getMethod()  Returns:  the compression method of the entry, or -1 if not specified

String getName() : Returns the name of the entry.

Syntax :public String getName()  Returns:  the name of the entry

long getSize() :Returns the uncompressed size of the entry data, or -1 if not known.

Syntax :public long getSize()  Returns:  the uncompressed size of the entry data, or -1 if not know

long getTime() : Returns the modification time of the entry, or -1 if not specified.

Syntax :public long getTime()  Returns:  the modification time of the entry, or -1 if not specified

int hashCode() : Returns the hash code value for this entry.

Syntax :public int hashCode()  Overrides:  hashCode in class Object  Returns:  a hash code value for this object.

boolean isDirectory() : Returns true if this is a directory entry. A directory entry is defined to be one whose name ends with a ‘/’.
```
Syntax :public boolean isDirectory()  Returns:  true if this is a directory entry
```
void setComment(String comment):Sets the optional comment string for the entry.ZIP entry comments have maximum length of 0xffff. If the length of the specified comment string is greater than 0xFFFF bytes after encoding, only the first 0xFFFF bytes are output to the ZIP file entry.
```
Syntax :public void setComment(String comment)  Parameters:  comment - the comment string
```

void setCompressedSize(long csize) : Sets the size of the compressed entry data.

Syntax :public void setCompressedSize(long csize)  Parameters:  csize - the compressed size to set to

void setCrc(long crc) : Sets the CRC-32 checksum of the uncompressed entry data.

Syntax :public void setCrc(long crc)  Parameters:  crc - the CRC-32 value  Throws:  IllegalArgumentException

void setExtra(byte[] extra) : Sets the optional extra field data for the entry.

Syntax :public void setExtra(byte[] extra)  Parameters:  extra - the extra field data bytes  Throws:  IllegalArgumentException

void setMethod(int method) : Sets the compression method for the entry.

Syntax :public void setMethod(int method)  Parameters:  method - the compression method, either STORED or DEFLATED  Throws:  IllegalArgumentException

void setSize(long size) : Sets the uncompressed size of the entry data.

Syntax :public void setSize(long size)  Parameters:  size - the uncompressed size in bytes  Throws:  IllegalArgumentException

void setTime(long time) : Sets the modification time of the entry.

Syntax :public void setTime(long time)  Parameters:  time - the entry modification time in number of milliseconds since the epoch

String toString() : Returns a string representation of the ZIP entry.

Syntax :public String toString()  Overrides:  toString in class Object  Returns:  a string representation of the object.
