ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSWORD(3) Introduction to Library Functions

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(zip_t *archive, const char *password);

DESCRIPTION

The zip_set_default_password() function sets the default password used
when accessing encrypted files. If password is NULL or the empty
string, 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 password is used for every file in an zip archive.

The password is not verified when calling this function. See the
CAVEATS section in zip_fopen_encrypted(3) for more details about
password handling.

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.
