In my shell script I am using the zip command to zip the log files. The zip file is password protected. But there is a dicey.
I want the output as:
1) All files should be zipped including sub-directories' files
2) All files (individually) should be Password protected (may be common or different)
3) User should feed the password as input just once.
Condition 1 is met. But in Condition2 the sub-directory files are not password protected.Rather the sub-directory is password protected.
I used
Here password I handled in variable (condition 3) and without any interference zip command works. I tried using zip command option -e (as zip -r -e ...). But it prompts for password twice which is not recommended. Or is there any way to get the password from user as input and feed the same in run time when it prompts for Password while using -e option?
Please suggest.

zip_set_default_password
ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSWORD(3) Library Functions Manual ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSWORD(3)NAME
zip_set_default_password - set default password for encrypted files in zip
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
int zip_set_default_password(struct zip *archive, const char *password);
DESCRIPTION
The zip_set_default_password function sets the default password used when accessing encrypted files. If password is NULL, the default
password is unset.
If you prefer a different password for single files, use zip_fopen_encrypted(3) instead of zip_fopen(3). Usually, however, the same pass-
word is used for every file in an zip archive.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error information in archive is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
zip_set_default_password fails if:
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
Required memory could not be allocated.
