- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### SevenZOutputFile

          public SevenZOutputFile(File filename)
                           throws IOException

      Opens file to write a 7z archive to.
      Parameters:
        `filename` - name of the file to write to
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if opening the file fails

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setContentCompression

          public void setContentCompression(SevenZMethod method)

      Sets the default compression method to use for entry contents - the default is LZMA2.

      Currently only `SevenZMethod.COPY`, `SevenZMethod.LZMA2`, `SevenZMethod.BZIP2` and `SevenZMethod.DEFLATE` are supported.

      This is a short form for passing a single-element iterable to `setContentMethods(java.lang.Iterable)`.

    - #### setContentMethods

          public void setContentMethods(Iterable<? extends SevenZMethodConfiguration> methods)

      Sets the default (compression) methods to use for entry contents - the default is LZMA2.

      Currently only `SevenZMethod.COPY`, `SevenZMethod.LZMA2`, `SevenZMethod.BZIP2` and `SevenZMethod.DEFLATE` are supported.

      The methods will be consulted in iteration order to create the final output.

      Since:
        1.8

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Closes the archive, calling `finish()` if necessary.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### createArchiveEntry

          public SevenZArchiveEntry createArchiveEntry(File inputFile,
                                              String entryName)
                                                throws IOException

      Create an archive entry using the inputFile and entryName provided.
      Parameters:
        `inputFile` -
        `entryName` -
      Returns:
        the ArchiveEntry set up with details from the file
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### putArchiveEntry

          public void putArchiveEntry(ArchiveEntry archiveEntry)
                               throws IOException

      Records an archive entry to add. The caller must then write the content to the archive and call `closeArchiveEntry()` to complete the process.
      Parameters:
        `archiveEntry` - describes the entry
      Throws:
        `IOException`

    - #### closeArchiveEntry

          public void closeArchiveEntry()
