## Interface ZipExtraField

- All Known Subinterfaces:

      public interface ZipExtraField

  General format of extra field data.

  Extra fields usually appear twice per file, once in the local file data and once in the central directory. Usually they are the same, but they don't have to be. `java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream` will only use the local file data in both places.

- - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `byte[]` | `getCentralDirectoryData()` The actual data to put into central directory - without Header-ID or length specifier.
    `ZipShort` | `getCentralDirectoryLength()` Length of the extra field in the central directory - without Header-ID or length specifier.
    `ZipShort` | `getHeaderId()` The Header-ID.
    `byte[]` | `getLocalFileDataData()` The actual data to put into local file data - without Header-ID or length specifier.
    `ZipShort` | `getLocalFileDataLength()` Length of the extra field in the local file data - without Header-ID or length specifier.
    `void` | `parseFromLocalFileData(byte[] data, int offset, int length)` Populate data from this array as if it was in local file data.

                                      throws java.util.zip.ZipException

      Populate data from this array as if it was in local file data.
      Parameters:
        `data` - an array of bytes
        `offset` - the start offset
        `length` - the number of bytes in the array from offset
