Name

Synopsis

int
zip_set_default_password(zip_t *archive, const char *password);

Description

ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSW... BSD Library Functions Manual ZIP_SET_DEFAULT_PASSW...

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, the default pass-
     word 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.

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.
