Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ArchiveEntry	Represents an entry of an archive.
ArchiveStreamProvider	Creates Archive ArchiveInputStreams and ArchiveOutputStreams.
EntryStreamOffsets	Provides information about ArchiveEntry stream offsets.

Class Summary

Class	Description
ArchiveInputStream<E extends ArchiveEntry>	Archive input streams MUST override the InputStream.read(byte[], int, int) - or ArchiveInputStream.read() - method so that reading from the stream generates EOF for the end of data in each entry as well as at the end of the file proper.
ArchiveOutputStream<E extends ArchiveEntry>	Archive output stream implementations are expected to override the OutputStream.write(byte[], int, int) method to improve performance.
ArchiveStreamFactory	Factory to create Archive[In|Out]putStreams from names or the first bytes of the InputStream.
Lister	Simple command line application that lists the contents of an archive.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
ArchiveException	Archiver related Exception
StreamingNotSupportedException	Exception thrown by ArchiveStreamFactory if a format is requested/detected that doesn't support streaming.
