Package zip provides support for reading and writing ZIP archives.

See the [ZIP specification] for details.

This package does not support disk spanning.

A note about ZIP64:

To be backwards compatible the FileHeader has both 32 and 64 bit Size
fields. The 64 bit fields will always contain the correct value and
for normal archives both fields will be the same. For files requiring

## Introduction {#intro}

Go's emphasis on backwards compatibility is one of its key strengths.
There are, however, times when we cannot maintain complete compatibility.
