function New-ZipArchive { <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a new, empty ZIP archive. .DESCRIPTION The `New-ZipArchive` function createa a new, empty ZIP archive. Pass the path to the archive to the Path parameter. A new, empty ZIP archive is created at that path. The function returns a `IO.FileInfo` object representing the new ZIP archive. If `Path` is relative, it is created relative to the current directory. If a file already exists, you'll get an error and nothing will be returned. To delete any existing file and create a new, empty ZIP archive, pass the `Force` switch. You can control the compression level of the archive by passing an `IO.Compression.CompressionLevel` value to the `CompressionLevel` parameter. The default is `Optimal`. Other values are `Fastest` and `None`. By default, entry names are encoded as UTF8 text. If your ZIP archive will be consumed by tools that don't support UTF8, pass the encoding they do support to the `EntryNameEncoding` parameter. .EXAMPLE New-ZipArchive -Path 'archive.zip' Creates a new, empty ZIP file named `archive.zip` in the current directory. .EXAMPLE New-ZipArchive -Path 'archive.zip' -Force Creates a new, empty ZIP file named `archive.zip` in the current directory. If a file named 'archive.zip' already exists in the current directory, it is deleted and a new file created. .EXAMPLE New-ZipArchive -Path 'archive.zip' -CompressionLevel Fastest -Encoding [Text.Encoding]::ASCII Creates a new, empty ZIP file using fastest compression and encoding entry names in ASCII. #> [CmdletBinding()] param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [string] # The path to the ZIP archive to create.
