ZIP_SOURCE_ZIP(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 ZIP_SOURCE_ZIP(3)

NAME
zip_source_zip - create data source from zip file LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip) SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h> struct zip_source * zip_source_zip(struct zip *archive, struct zip *srcarchive); "zip_uint64_t srcidx" "int flags" "zip_uint64_t start" "zip_int64_t len" DESCRIPTION
The function zip_source_zip creates a zip source from a file in a zip archive. The srcarchive argument is the (open) zip archive contain- ing the source zip file at index srcidx. len bytes from offset start will be used in the zip_source. If len is 0 or -1, the rest of the file, starting from start, is used. If start is zero and len is -1, the whole file will be copied without decompressing it. Supported flags are: ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED Try to get the original data without any changes that may have been made to srcarchive after opening it. ZIP_FL_RECOMPRESS When adding the data from srcarchive, re-compress it using the current settings instead of copying the com- pressed data. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the created source is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
zip_source_zip fails if: [ZIP_ER_CHANGED] Unchanged data was requested, but it is not available. [ZIP_ER_INVAL] srcarchive, srcidx, start, or len are invalid. [ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated. Additionally, it can return all error codes from zip_stat_index and zip_fopen_index. SEE ALSO
