Usage:
  producer | streamzip [OPTIONS] | consumer
  producer | streamzip [OPTIONS] -zipfile output.zip

Stream data from stdin, compress into a Zip container, and either stream to stdout, or
write to a named file.

OPTIONS

  -zipfile=F      Write zip container to the filename 'F'
                  Outputs to stdout if zipfile not specified.
  -member-name=M  Set member name to 'M' [Default '-']
  -0 ... -9       Set compression level for Deflate
                  [Default: 6]
  -zip64          Create a Zip64-compliant zip file [Default: No]
                  Enable Zip64 if input is greater than 4Gig.
  -stream         Force a streamed zip file when 'zipfile' option is also enabled.
                  Only applies when 'zipfile' option is used. [Default: No]
                  Stream is always enabled when writing to stdout.
  -method=M       Compress using method 'M'.
                  Valid methods are
                    store    Store without compression
                    deflate  Use Deflate compression [Default]
                    bzip2    Use Bzip2 compression
                    lzma     Use LZMA compression [needs IO::Compress::Lzma]
                    xz       Use LZMA compression [needs IO::Compress::Xz]
                    zstd     Use LZMA compression [needs IO::Compress::Zstd]
  -version        Display version number [$VERSION]

=head1 NAME

streamzip - create a zip file from stdin

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

The zip container written to C<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 C<zipfile> option.

=head2 OPTIONS

=over 5

=item -zip64

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

Default is disabled.

=item  -zipfile=F

Write zip container to the filename C<F>.

Use the C<Stream> option to force the creation of a streamed zip file.

=item  -member-name=M

This option is used to name the "file" in the zip container.

Default is '-'.

=item  -stream

Ignored when writing to C<stdout>.

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

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

=item  -method=M

Compress using method C<M>.

Valid method names are

    * store    Store without compression
    * deflate  Use Deflate compression [Default]
    * bzip2    Use Bzip2 compression
    * lzma     Use LZMA compression
    * xz       Use xz compression
    * zstd     Use Zstandard compression

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

Note that Zstd compress needs C<IO::Compress::Zstd> to be installed.

Default is C<deflate>.

=item -0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9

Sets the compression level for C<deflate>. Ignored for all other compression methods.

C<-0> means no compression and C<-9> for maximum compression.

Default is 6

=item  -version

Display version number

=item -help

Display help

=back

=head2 Examples

Create a zip file bt reading daa from stdin

    $ echo Lorem ipsum dolor sit | perl ./bin/streamzip >abcd.zip

Check the contents of C<abcd,zip> with the standard C<unzip> utility

    Archive:  abcd.zip
      Length      Date    Time    Name
    ---------  ---------- -----   ----
           22  2021-01-08 19:45   -
    ---------                     -------
           22                     1 file

Notice how the C<Name> is set to C<->.
That is the default for a few zip utilities where the member name is not given.

If you want to explicitly name the file, use the C<-member-name> option as follows

    $ echo Lorem ipsum dolor sit | perl ./bin/streamzip -member-name latin >abcd.zip

    $ unzip -l abcd.zip
    Archive:  abcd.zip
      Length      Date    Time    Name
    ---------  ---------- -----   ----
           22  2021-01-08 19:47   latin
    ---------                     -------
           22                     1 file


=head2 When to write a Streamed Zip File

A Streamed Zip File is useful 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 filesystem.

Similarly if your workflow uses a Linux pipelined commands.
