# class Compress::Zip::Reader

- Compress::Zip::Reader
- Reference
- Object

##
Overview

Reads zip file entries sequentially from an `IO`.

NOTE Entries might not have correct values for crc32, compressed_size, uncompressed_size and comment, because when reading a zip file directly from a stream this information might be stored later in the zip stream. If you need this information, consider using `Zip::File`.

###
Example

    require "compress/zip"

    Compress::Zip::Reader.open("./file.zip") do |zip|
      zip.each_entry do |entry|
        p entry.filename
        p entry.file?
        p entry.dir?
        p entry.io.gets_to_end
      end
    end

##
Class Method Summary

- .open(io : IO, sync_close = false, &)

  Creates a new reader from the given io, yields it to the given block, and closes it at the end.

##
Instance Method Summary

- #close : Nil

  Closes this zip reader.

- #closed? : Bool

  Returns `true` if this reader is closed.

- #each_entry(&)

  Yields each entry in the zip to the given block.

- #next_entry : Entry | Nil

  Reads the next entry in the zip, or `nil` if there are no more entries.

- #sync_close=(sync_close : Bool)

  Whether to close the enclosed `IO` when closing this reader.

- #sync_close? : Bool

  Whether to close the enclosed `IO` when closing this reader.

##
Constructor Detail

def self.new(io : IO, sync_close : Bool = false) #

Creates a new reader from the given io.

def self.new(filename : Path | String) #

Creates a new reader from the given filename.

##
Class Method Detail

def self.open(io : IO, sync_close = false, &) #

Creates a new reader from the given io, yields it to the given block, and closes it at the end.

def self.open(filename : Path | String, &) #

Creates a new reader from the given filename, yields it to the given block, and closes it at the end.

##
Instance Method Detail

def close : Nil #

Closes this zip reader.

def closed? : Bool #

Returns `true` if this reader is closed.

def each_entry(&) #

Yields each entry in the zip to the given block.

def next_entry : Entry | Nil #

Reads the next entry in the zip, or `nil` if there are no more entries.

After reading a next entry, previous entries can no longer be read (their `IO` will be closed.)

def sync_close=(sync_close : Bool) #

Whether to close the enclosed `IO` when closing this reader.

def sync_close? : Bool #

Whether to close the enclosed `IO` when closing this reader.
