NAME
zip_open - open zip archive LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip) SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h> struct zip * zip_open(const char *path, int flags, int *errorp); DESCRIPTION
The zip archive specified by path is opened and a pointer to a struct zip, used to manipulate the archive, is returned. The are specified by or'ing the following values, or 0 for none of them. ZIP_CREATE Create the archive if it does not exist. ZIP_EXCL Error if archive already exists. ZIP_CHECKCONS Perform additional consistency checks on the archive, and error if they fail. If an error occurs and errorp is non-NULL, it will be set to the corresponding error code. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion zip_open returns a struct zip pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and *errorp is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The archive specified by path is opened unless: [ZIP_ER_EXISTS] The file specified by path exists and ZIP_EXCL is set. [ZIP_ER_INCONS] Inconsistencies were found in the file specified by path and ZIP_CHECKCONS was specified. [ZIP_ER_INVAL] The path argument is NULL. [ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated. [ZIP_ER_NOENT] The file specified by path does not exist and ZIP_CREATE is not set. [ZIP_ER_NOZIP] The file specified by path is not a zip archive. [ZIP_ER_OPEN] The file specified by path could not be opened. [ZIP_ER_READ] A read error occurred; see for details. [ZIP_ER_SEEK] The file specified by path does not allow seeks. SEE ALSO

NAME
zip_fdopen - open zip archive using open file descriptor LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip) SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h> struct zip * zip_fdopen(int fd, int flags, int *errorp); DESCRIPTION
The zip archive specified by the open file descriptor fd is opened and a pointer to a struct zip, used to manipulate the archive, is returned. In contrast to zip_open(3), using the archive can only be opened in read-only mode. The fd argument may not be used any longer after calling The are specified by or'ing the following values, or 0 for none of them. ZIP_CHECKCONS Perform additional consistency checks on the archive, and error if they fail. If an error occurs and errorp is it will be set to the corresponding error code. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion zip_fdopen returns a struct zip pointer, and fd should not be used any longer, nor passed to close(2). Otherwise, NULL is returned and *errorp is set to indi- cate the error. In the error case, fd remains unchanged. ERRORS
The file specified by fd is prepared for use by libzip(3) unless: [ZIP_ER_INCONS] Inconsistencies were found in the file specified by path and ZIP_CHECKCONS was specified. [ZIP_ER_INVAL] The flags argument is invalid. Not all zip_open(3) flags are allowed for see DESCRIPTION. [ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated. [ZIP_ER_NOZIP] The file specified by fd is not a zip archive. [ZIP_ER_OPEN] The file specified by fd could not be prepared for use by libzip(3). [ZIP_ER_READ] A read error occurred; see for details. [ZIP_ER_SEEK] The file specified by fd does not allow seeks. SEE ALSO
