NAME

zip_source_function zip_source_function_create - create data source from function

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

In zip.h Ft zip_source_t * Fn zip_source_function zip_t *archive zip_source_callback fn void *userdata Ft zip_source_t * Fn zip_source_function_create zip_source_callback fn void *userdata zip_error_t *error

DESCRIPTION

The functions Fn zip_source_function and Fn zip_source_function_create creates a zip source from the user-provided function fn which must be of the following type:

Ft typedef zip_int64_t Fo (*zip_source_callback) Fa void *userdata void *data zip_uint64_t len zip_source_cmd_t cmd Fc

archive or error are used for reporting errors and can be NULL

When called by the library, the first argument is the userdata argument supplied to the function. The next two arguments are a buffer data of size len when data is passed in or expected to be returned, or else NULL and 0. The last argument, cmd specifies which action the function should perform.

Depending on the uses, there are three useful sets of commands to be supported by a Fn zip_source_callback :

read source: Providing streamed data (for file data added to archives). Must support ZIP_SOURCE_OPEN ZIP_SOURCE_READ ZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE ZIP_SOURCE_STAT and ZIP_SOURCE_ERROR
seekable read source: Same as previous, but from a source allowing reading from arbitrary offsets (also for read-only zip archive). Must additionally support ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK ZIP_SOURCE_TELL and ZIP_SOURCE_SUPPORTS
read/write source: Same as previous, but additionally allowing writing (also for writable zip archives). Must additionally support ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE ZIP_SOURCE_COMMIT_WRITE ZIP_SOURCE_ROLLBACK_WRITE ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK_WRITE ZIP_SOURCE_TELL_WRITE and ZIP_SOURCE_REMOVE

ZIP_SOURCE_ACCEPT_EMPTY

Return 1 if an empty source should be accepted as a valid zip archive. This is the default if this command is not supported by a source. File system backed sources should return 0.

ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE

Prepare the source for writing. Use this to create any temporary file(s).

ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE_CLONING

Prepare the source for writing, keeping the first len bytes of the original file. Only implement this command if it is more efficient than copying the data, and if it does not destructively overwrite the original file (you still have to be able to execute ZIP_SOURCE_ROLLBACK_WRITE )

The next write should happen at byte offset

ZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE

Reading is done.

ZIP_SOURCE_COMMIT_WRITE

Finish writing to the source. Replace the original data with the newly written data. Clean up temporary files or internal buffers. Subsequently opening and reading from the source should return the newly written data.

ZIP_SOURCE_ERROR

Get error information. data points to an array of two ints, which should be filled with the libzip error code and the corresponding system error code for the error that occurred. See zip_errors3 for details on the error codes. If the source stores error information in a zip_error_t, use zip_error_to_data3 and return its return value. Otherwise, return 2 * sizeof(int).

ZIP_SOURCE_FREE

Clean up and free all resources, including userdata The callback function will not be called again.

ZIP_SOURCE_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

Provide information about various data. Then the data should be put in the appropriate entry in the passed Vt zip_file_attributes_t argument, and the appropriate ZIP_FILE_ATTRIBUTES_* value must be or'ed into the valid member to denote that the corresponding data has been provided. A Vt zip_file_attributes_t structure can be initialized using zip_file_attributes_init3.

ASCII mode: If a file is a plaintext file in ASCII. Can be used by extraction tools to automatically convert line endings (part of the interal file attributes). Member ascii flag ZIP_FILE_ATTRIBUTES_ASCII
General Purpose Bit Flags (limited to Compression Flags): The general purpose bit flag in the zip in the local and central directory headers contain information about the compression method. Member general_purpose_bit_flags and general_purpose_bit_mask to denote which members have been set; flag ZIP_FILE_ATTRIBUTES_GENERAL_PURPOSE_BIT_FLAGS
External File Attributes: The external file attributes (usually operating system-specific). Member external_file_attributes flag ZIP_FILE_ATTRIBUTES_EXTERNAL_FILE_ATTRIBUTES
Version Needed: A minimum version needed required to unpack this entry (in the usual "major * 10 + minor" format). Member version_needed flag ZIP_FILE_ATTRIBUTES_VERSION_NEEDED
Operating System: One of the operating systems as defined by the ZIP_OPSYS_* variables (see zip.h ) This value affects the interpretation of the external file attributes. Member host_system flag ZIP_FILE_ATTRIBUTES_HOST_SYSTEM

ZIP_SOURCE_OPEN

Prepare for reading.

ZIP_SOURCE_READ

Read data into the buffer data of size len Return the number of bytes placed into data on success, and zero for end-of-file.

ZIP_SOURCE_REMOVE

Remove the underlying file. This is called if a zip archive is empty when closed.

ZIP_SOURCE_ROLLBACK_WRITE

Abort writing to the source. Discard written data. Clean up temporary files or internal buffers. Subsequently opening and reading from the source should return the original data.

ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK

Specify position to read next byte from, like fseek(3). Use ZIP_SOURCE_GET_ARGS3 to decode the arguments into the following struct:

struct zip_source_args_seek {
    zip_int64_t offset;
    int whence;
};

If the size of the source's data is known, use zip_source_seek_compute_offset3 to validate the arguments and compute the new offset.

ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK_WRITE

Specify position to write next byte to, like fseek(3). See ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK for details.

ZIP_SOURCE_STAT

Get meta information for the input data. data points to an allocated Vt struct zip_stat , which should be initialized using zip_stat_init3 and then filled in.

For uncompressed, unencrypted data, all information is optional. However, fill in as much information as is readily available.

If the data is compressed, ZIP_STAT_COMP_METHOD ZIP_STAT_SIZE and ZIP_STAT_CRC must be filled in.

If the data is encrypted, ZIP_STAT_ENCRYPTION_METHOD ZIP_STAT_COMP_METHOD ZIP_STAT_SIZE and ZIP_STAT_CRC must be filled in.

Information only available after the source has been read (e.g., size) can be omitted in an earlier call. NOTE Fn zip_source_function may be called with this argument even after being called with ZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE

Return sizeof(struct zip_stat) on success.

ZIP_SOURCE_SUPPORTS

Return bitmap specifying which commands are supported. Use zip_source_make_command_bitmap3. If this command is not implemented, the source is assumed to be a read source without seek support.

ZIP_SOURCE_TELL

Return the current read offset in the source, like ftell(3).

ZIP_SOURCE_TELL_WRITE

Return the current write offset in the source, like ftell(3).

ZIP_SOURCE_WRITE

Write data to the source. Return number of bytes written.

Return Values

Commands should return -1 on error. ZIP_SOURCE_ERROR will be called to retrieve the error code. On success, commands return 0, unless specified otherwise in the description above.

Calling Conventions

The library will always issue ZIP_SOURCE_OPEN before issuing ZIP_SOURCE_READ ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK or ZIP_SOURCE_TELL When it no longer wishes to read from this source, it will issue ZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE If the library wishes to read the data again, it will issue ZIP_SOURCE_OPEN a second time. If the function is unable to provide the data again, it should return -1.

ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE or ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE_CLONING will be called before ZIP_SOURCE_WRITE ZIP_SOURCE_SEEK_WRITE or ZIP_SOURCE_TELL_WRITE When writing is complete, either ZIP_SOURCE_COMMIT_WRITE or ZIP_SOURCE_ROLLBACK_WRITE will be called.

ZIP_SOURCE_ACCEPT_EMPTY ZIP_SOURCE_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES and ZIP_SOURCE_STAT can be issued at any time.

ZIP_SOURCE_ERROR will only be issued in response to the function returning -1.

ZIP_SOURCE_FREE will be the last command issued; if ZIP_SOURCE_OPEN was called and succeeded, ZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE will be called before ZIP_SOURCE_FREE and similarly for ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE or ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE_CLONING and ZIP_SOURCE_COMMIT_WRITE or ZIP_SOURCE_ROLLBACK_WRITE

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 indicate the error (unless it is NULL )

ERRORS

Fn zip_source_function fails if:

Bq Er ZIP_ER_MEMORY: Required memory could not be allocated.

HISTORY
