Description

ZIP_FSEEK(3)             BSD Library Functions Manual             ZIP_FSEEK(3)

NAME
     zip_fseek -- seek in file

LIBRARY
     libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <zip.h>

     zip_int8_t
     zip_fseek(zip_file_t *file, zip_int64_t offset, int whence);

DESCRIPTION
     The zip_fseek() function seeks to the specified offset relative to
     whence, just like fseek(3).

     zip_fseek only works on uncompressed (stored) data.  When called on com-
     pressed data it will return an error.

RETURN VALUES
     If successful, zip_fseek returns 0.  Otherwise, -1 is returned.
