- - ### Field Detail

    - #### UFT8_NAMES_FLAG

          public static final int UFT8_NAMES_FLAG

      Indicates that filenames are written in utf-8.

      The only reason this is public is that `ZipOutputStream.EFS_FLAG` was public in several versions of Apache Ant and we needed a substitute for it.
