NAME

zip_source_begin_write, zip_source_begin_write_cloning — prepare zip source for writing

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

int

zip_source_begin_write ( zip_source_t *source );

int

zip_source_begin_write_cloning ( zip_source_t *source , zip_uint64_t offset );

DESCRIPTION

The functions zip_source_begin_write () and zip_source_begin_write_cloning () prepare source for writing. Usually this involves creating temporary files or allocating buffers.

zip_source_begin_write_cloning () preserves the first offset bytes of the original file. This is done efficiently, and writes to source won’t overwrite the original data until zip_commit_write () is called.

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error information in source is set to indicate the error.
