When scanning, *strict_descriptor* controls how entries with an unsigned
597-
data descriptor are handled. A data descriptor is an optional record (but
598-
mandatory for an archive written to a non-seekable stream) stored after an
599-
entry's data, and can be either signed (beginning with a magic signature) or
600-
unsigned. Unsigned descriptors have been deprecated by the

`PKZIP Application Note`_ since version 6.3.0 (released in 2006) and are
