Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to check if downloading of a file is completed? Post 302989091 by stomp on Saturday 7th of January 2017 06:07:56 PM

You can use "stat" to get the exact size of the file.("du" is quite the same here).

If you want to be sure the file is correctly downloaded, create a checksum at the source and verify the checksum after downloading. Use "md5sum" or the "sha1sum" command-family for this.

The argument archive specifies the zip archive to which the file should be added. name is the file's name in the zip archive (for zip_add ), while index speci- fies which file should be replaced (for zip_replace ). The data is obtained from the source argument. See the zip_source_* functions cited in SEE ALSO. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, zip_add returns the index of the new file in the archive, and zip_replace returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error. EXAMPLES
struct zip_source *s; if ((s=zip_source_buffer(archive, buffer, len)) == NULL || zip_add(archive, name, s) 0) { zip_source_free(s); printf("error adding file: %s0, zip_strerror(archive)); } ERRORS
