Crate zip

A library for reading and writing ZIP archives. ZIP is a format designed for cross-platform file “archiving”. That is, storing a collection of files in a single datastream to make them easier to share between computers. Additionally, ZIP is able to compress and encrypt files in its archives.

The current implementation is based on PKWARE’s APPNOTE.TXT v6.3.9
