NAME

zip_fdopen - open zip archive using open file descriptor  

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)  

SYNOPSIS

In zip.h Ft zip_t * Fn zip_fdopen int fd int flags int *errorp  

DESCRIPTION

The zip archive specified by the open file descriptor fd is opened and a pointer to a Ft struct zip , used to manipulate the archive, is returned. In contrast to zip_open3, using zip_fdopen the archive can only be opened in read-only mode. The fd argument may not be used any longer after calling zip_fdopen The Fa flags are specified by or 'ing the following values, or 0 for none of them.

ZIP_CHECKCONS
Perform additional stricter consistency checks on the archive, and error if they fail.

If an error occurs and errorp is non- NULL it will be set to the corresponding error code.  

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion Fn zip_fdopen returns a Ft struct zip pointer, and fd should not be used any longer, nor passed to close(2). Otherwise, NULL is returned and *errorp is set to indicate the error. In the error case, fd remains unchanged.  

ERRORS

The file specified by fd is prepared for use by libzip(3) unless:

Bq Er ZIP_ER_INCONS
Inconsistencies were found in the file specified by path This error is often caused by specifying ZIP_CHECKCONS but can also happen without it.
Bq Er ZIP_ER_INVAL
The flags argument is invalid. Not all zip_open3 flags are allowed for zip_fdopen see Sx DESCRIPTION .
Bq Er ZIP_ER_MEMORY
Required memory could not be allocated.
Bq Er ZIP_ER_NOZIP
The file specified by fd is not a zip archive.
Bq Er ZIP_ER_OPEN
The file specified by fd could not be prepared for use by libzip(3).
