Hello,

* Package name    : fdzipstream
   Version         : 1.0.0
   Upstream Author: CTrabant <[email protected]>
* URL             : https://github.com/CTrabant/fdzipstream.git
* License         : Apache 2.0
   Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Create ZIP archives in streaming fashion, writing to a file descriptor.

fdzipstream allows to generate ZIP files on-the-fly and send them
over a networked connection, so that it is not needed to have the
entire file in disk or memory before transmission.


AFAICT this can also be done using UNIX zip, like this:

hille@rasppi3:~/t1/fdzipstream $ zip - zipfiles.c | base64
  adding: zipfiles.c (deflated 68%)

So, what is the main advantage of this program, except that it is smaller than UNIX zip?
