Description

ZIP_SET_FILE_COMPRESS... BSD Library Functions Manual ZIP_SET_FILE_COMPRESS...

NAME
     zip_set_file_compression -- set compression method for file in zip

LIBRARY
     libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <zip.h>

     int
     zip_set_file_compression(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index,
         zip_int32_t comp, zip_uint32_t comp_flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The zip_set_file_compression() function sets the compression method for
     the file at position index in the zip archive to comp with the compres-
     sion method specific comp_flags.  The comp is the same as returned by
     zip_stat(3).  For the comp argument, currently only the following values
     are supported:

     ZIP_CM_DEFAULT     default compression; currently the same as
                        ZIP_CM_DEFLATE, but flags are ignored.

     ZIP_CM_STORE       Store the file uncompressed.

     ZIP_CM_BZIP2       Compress the file using the bzip2(1) algorithm.

     ZIP_CM_DEFLATE     Deflate the file with the zlib(3) algorithm and
                        default options.

     NOTE: Only the deflate and store methods can be assumed to be universally
     supported.

     The comp_flags argument defines the compression level, 1 being fastest
     compression and 9 highest.  Allowed values are 0 (which uses the default
     compression for the algorithm) and 1-9, other values are undefined.  Fur-
     ther compression method specific flags might be added over time.

     The current compression method for a file in a zip archive can be deter-
     mined using zip_stat(3).

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_file_compression() fails if:

     [ZIP_ER_COMPNOTSUPP]
                        Unsupported compression method requested.

     [ZIP_ER_INVAL]     index is not a valid file index in archive, or the
                        argument combination is invalid.

     [ZIP_ER_RDONLY]    Read-only zip file, no changes allowed.
