Archive Entries

For each of the supported archiving formats there is a correspondig entry resource that represents a single entry in such an archive.

All of these resources need to know the archive the entry should be read from, it can be specifed as either the archive attribute or a nested single-element resource collection.

The entry types share the following set of attributes:

Attribute	Description	Required
archive	The archive containing this resource	Yes, unless a nested resource collection has been specified.
name	The name of the archived resource	Yes
encoding	The encoding of filenames inside the archive	No; platform default used if unspecified. Currently ignored by all but `zipentry`
