Name

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_error_t *error);

Description

ZIP_SOURCE_BUFFER(3)     BSD Library Functions Manual     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 indi-
     cate 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.
