class UCF::Container

This class represents a UCF document - also known as an EPUB and very similar to the EPUB Open Container Format (OCF). See the UCF specification for more details.

This class is a specialization of ZipContainer so you should see the ZipContainer documentation for much more information and a list of all the other methods available in this class. RDoc does not list inherited methods, unfortunately.

There are code examples available with the source code of this library.
