NAME

zip_fopen, zip_fopen_index - open file in zip archive for reading  

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)  

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

struct zip_file *
zip_fopen(struct zip *archiveconst char *fnamezip_flags_t flags);

struct zip_file *
zip_fopen_index(struct zip *archivezip_uint64_t indexzip_flags_t flags);  

DESCRIPTION

The zip_fopen() function opens the file name fname in archive. The flags argument specifies how the name lookup should be done, according to the values are described in zip_name_locate(3). Also, the following values may be or'ed to it.
ZIP_FL_COMPRESSED
Read the compressed data. Otherwise the data is uncompressed by zip_fread().
ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED
Read the original data from the zip archive, ignoring any changes made to the file.

The zip_fopen_index() function opens the file at position index.

If encrypted data is encountered, the functions call zip_fopen_encrypted(3) or zip_fopen_index_encrypted(3) respectively, using the default password set with zip_set_default_password(3).  

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, a struct zip_file pointer is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.  

ERRORS

[ZIP_ER_CHANGED]
The file data has been changed.
[ZIP_ER_COMPNOTSUPP]
The compression method used is not supported.
[ZIP_ER_ENCRNOTSUPP]

[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]

The function zip_fopen_index() may also fail with ZIP_ER_INVAL if index is invalid.
