NAME

zip_stat, zip_stat_index - get information about file

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

int
zip_stat(struct zip *archive, const char *fname, zip_flags_t flags, struct zip_stat *sb);

int
zip_stat_index(struct zip *archive, int index, zip_flags_t flags, struct zip_stat *sb);

DESCRIPTION

The zip_stat() function obtains information about the file named fname in archive. The flags argument specifies how the name lookup should be done. Its values are described in zip_name_locate(3). Also, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED may be or'ed to it to request information about the original file in the archive, ignoring any changes made.

The zip_stat_index() function obtains information about the file at position index.

The sb argument is a pointer to a struct zip_stat (shown below), into which information about the file is placed.


struct zip_stat {
    zip_uint64_t valid;                 /* which fields have valid values */
    const char *name;                   /* name of the file */
    zip_uint64_t index;                 /* index within archive */
    zip_uint64_t size;                  /* size of file (uncompressed) */
    zip_uint64_t comp_size;             /* size of file (compressed) */
    time_t mtime;                       /* modification time */
    zip_uint32_t crc;                   /* crc of file data */
    zip_uint16_t comp_method;           /* compression method used */
    zip_uint16_t encryption_method;     /* encryption method used */
    zip_uint32_t flags;                 /* reserved for future use */
};

The structure pointed to by sb must be allocated before calling zip_stat() or zip_stat_index().

The valid field of the structure specifies which other fields are valid. Check if the flag defined by the following defines are in valid before accessing the fields:

ZIP_STAT_NAME: name
ZIP_STAT_INDEX: index
ZIP_STAT_SIZE: size
ZIP_STAT_COMP_SIZE: comp_size
ZIP_STAT_MTIME: mtime
ZIP_STAT_CRC: crc
ZIP_STAT_COMP_METHOD: comp_method
ZIP_STAT_ENCRYPTION_METHOD: encryption_method
ZIP_STAT_FLAGS: flags

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

The function zip_stat() can fail for any of the errors specified for the routine zip_name_locate(3).

The function zip_stat_index() fails and sets the error information to ZIP_ER_INVAL if index is invalid. If ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED is not set and no information can be obtained from the source callback, the error information is set to ZIP_ER_CHANGED.
