ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSWORD(3) Introduction to Library Functions
zip_set_default_password - set default password for encrypted files in
zip
libzip (-lzip)
#include <zip.h>
int
zip_set_default_password(zip_t *archive, const char *password);
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.
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned
and the error information in archive is set to indicate the error.
zip_set_default_password() fails if:
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated.
libzip(3), zip_fopen(3), zip_fopen_encrypted(3)
zip_set_default_password() was added in libzip 0.10.
