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 [1.00]
