 * `filter` A function that is called for all items to determine whether or not they should be added to the zip buffer. Function is called with the `fullPath` and a `stats` object ([fs.Stats](http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_class_fs_stats)). Return true to add the item; false otherwise. To include files within directories, directories must also pass this filter.

+* `comment` A comment to be stored to the zip file.
+* `compressionLevel` The level of compression to use. A number from 1 (best speed) and 9 (best compression). 6 is the default.
