LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h> zip_int64_t zip_fread(

void *buf,
zip_uint64_t nbytes);
DESCRIPTION
The
zip_fread() function reads up to
nbytes bytes from
file into
buf from the current position in the file (see
zip_fseek(3)). After
reading, the current position is updated by the number of bytes read.

zip_fread() is called after reaching the end of the file, 0 is
returned. In case of error, -1 is returned.

zip_fread() was added in libzip 0.6. In libzip 0.10 the return type
was changed from
ssize_t to
zip_int64_t. In libzip 0.10 the type of
nbytes was changed from
size_t to
zip_uint64_t.
