- Constructor Detail
  - ZipInputStream
```
public ZipInputStream(InputStream in)
```
    Creates a new ZIP input stream.
    The UTF-8 charset is used to decode the entry names.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the actual input stream
  - ZipInputStream
```
public ZipInputStream(InputStream in,
                      Charset charset)
```
    Creates a new ZIP input stream.
    
    Parameters:
    
    in - the actual input stream
    
    charset - The charset to be used to decode the ZIP entry name (ignored if the language encoding bit of the ZIP entry's general purpose bit flag is set).
    
    Since:
    
    1.7
- Method Detail
  - getNextEntry
```
public ZipEntry getNextEntry()
                      throws IOException
```
    Reads the next ZIP file entry and positions the stream at the beginning of the entry data.
    
    Returns:
    
    the next ZIP file entry, or null if there are no more entries
    
    Throws:
    
    ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
  - closeEntry
```
public void closeEntry()
                throws IOException
```
    Closes the current ZIP entry and positions the stream for reading the next entry.
    
    Throws:
    
    ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred
  - available
```
public int available()
              throws IOException
```
    Returns 0 after EOF has reached for the current entry data, otherwise always return 1.
    Programs should not count on this method to return the actual number of bytes that could be read without blocking.
    
    Overrides:
    
    available in class InflaterInputStream
    
    Returns:
    
    1 before EOF and 0 after EOF has reached for current entry.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
  - read
```
public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
         throws IOException
```
    Reads from the current ZIP entry into an array of bytes. If len is not zero, the method blocks until some input is available; otherwise, no bytes are read and 0 is returned.
    
    Overrides:
    
    read in class InflaterInputStream
    
    Parameters:
    
    b - the buffer into which the data is read
    
    off - the start offset in the destination array b
    
    len - the maximum number of bytes read
    
    Returns:
    
    the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the entry is reached
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if b is null.
    
    IndexOutOfBoundsException - if off is negative, len is negative, or len is greater than b.length - off
    
    ZipException - if a ZIP file error has occurred
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

    FilterInputStream.in
  - skip
```
public long skip(long n)
          throws IOException
```
    Skips specified number of bytes in the current ZIP entry.
    
    Overrides:
    
    skip in class InflaterInputStream
    
    Parameters:
    
    n - the number of bytes to skip
    
    Returns:
    
    the actual number of bytes skipped

public void close()
           throws IOException
```
    Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.

    close in interface Closeable
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface AutoCloseable
    
    Overrides:
    
    close in class InflaterInputStream
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an I/O error has occurred

  - createZipEntry
```
protected ZipEntry createZipEntry(String name)
```
    Creates a new ZipEntry object for the specified entry name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the ZIP file entry name
    
    Returns:
    
    the ZipEntry just created
