ZIP_FDOPEN (3) Library Functions Manual ZIP_FDOPEN (3)

NAME

zip_fdopen — open zip archive using open file descriptor

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

zip_t *

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 struct zip , used to manipulate the archive, is returned. In contrast to zip_open (3), 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 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 zip_fdopen () returns a 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:

[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.

[ZIP_ER_INVAL]

The flags argument is invalid. Not all zip_open (3) flags are allowed for zip_fdopen , see “DESCRIPTION”.

[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]

Required memory could not be allocated.

[ZIP_ER_NOZIP]

The file specified by fd is not a zip archive.

[ZIP_ER_OPEN]

The file specified by fd could not be prepared for use by libzip (3).

[ZIP_ER_OPNOTSUPP]

This functionality has been disabled at compile time.

[ZIP_ER_READ]

A read error occurred; see errno for details.

[ZIP_ER_SEEK]

The file specified by fd does not allow seeks.
