Description

ZIP_FILE_GET_COMMENT(3)  BSD Library Functions Manual  ZIP_FILE_GET_COMMENT(3)

NAME
     zip_file_get_comment -- get comment for file in zip

LIBRARY
     libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <zip.h>

     const char *
     zip_file_get_comment(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index,
         zip_uint32_t *lenp, zip_flags_t flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The zip_file_get_comment() function returns the comment for the file at
     position index in the zip archive.  The name is in UTF-8 encoding unless
     ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW was specified (see below).  This pointer should not be
     modified or free(3)'d, and becomes invalid when archive is closed.  If
     lenp is not NULL, the integer to which it points will be set to the
     length of the comment.  If flags is set to ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, the original
     unchanged comment is returned.

     Additionally, the following flags are supported:

           ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW       Return the unmodified comment as it is in the
                                ZIP archive.

           ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS     (Default.)  Guess the encoding of the comment
                                in the ZIP archive and convert it to UTF-8, if
                                necessary.

           ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT    Follow the ZIP specification for file names
                                and extend it to file comments, expecting them
                                to be encoded in CP-437 in the ZIP archive
                                (except if it is a UTF-8 comment from the spe-
                                cial extra field).  Convert it to UTF-8.
     Note: ASCII is a subset of both CP-437 and UTF-8.

RETURN VALUES
     Upon successful completion, a pointer to the comment is returned, or NULL
     if there is no comment.  In case of an error, NULL is returned and the
     error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
     zip_file_get_comment() fails if:

     [ZIP_ER_INVAL]     index is not a valid file index in archive.
