ZIP_SOURCE_BUFFER(3) Introduction to Library Functions ZIP_SOURCE_BUFFER(3)

NAME

zip_source_buffer, zip_source_buffer_create - create zip data source
from buffer

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer(zip_t *archive, const void *data, zip_uint64_t len,
int freep);

zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer_create(const void *data, zip_uint64_t len, int freep,
zip_error_t *error);

DESCRIPTION

The functions zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() create
a zip source from the buffer data of size len. If freep is non-zero,
the buffer will be freed when it is no longer needed. data must remain
valid for the lifetime of the created source.

The source can be used to open a zip archive from.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, the created source is returned. Otherwise,
NULL is returned and the error code in archive or error is set to
indicate the error.

ERRORS

zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() fail if:

[ZIP_ER_INVAL] len is greater than zero and data is NULL.

[ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated.
