ZIP_FOPEN(3)

NAME
zip_fopen, zip_fopen_index - open file in zip archive for reading

LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>

struct zip_file *
zip_fopen(struct zip *archive, const char *fname, zip_flags_t flags);

struct zip_file *
zip_fopen_index(struct zip *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_flags_t flags);

DESCRIPTION
The zip_fopen() function opens the file name fname in archive. The flags argument specifies how the name lookup should be done, according to the values are described in zip_name_locate(3). Also, the following values may be or'ed to it.

    ZIP_FL_COMPRESSED
        Read the compressed data. Otherwise the data is uncompressed by zip_fread().

    ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED
        Read the original data from the zip archive, ignoring any changes made to the file.

The zip_fopen_index() function opens the file at position index.

If encrypted data is encountered, the functions call zip_fopen_encrypted(3) or zip_fopen_index_encrypted(3) respectively, using the default password set with zip_set_default_password(3).

RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a struct zip_file pointer is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

[ZIP_ER_CHANGED]
    The file data has been changed.

[ZIP_ER_COMPNOTSUPP]
    The compression method used is not supported.

[ZIP_ER_ENCRNOTSUPP]
    The encryption method used is not supported.

[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
    Required memory could not be allocated.

[ZIP_ER_NOPASSWD]
    The file is encrypted, but no password has been provided.

[ZIP_ER_READ]
    A file read error occurred.

[ZIP_ER_SEEK]
    A file seek error occurred.

[ZIP_ER_WRONGPASSWD]
    The provided password does not match the password used for encryption. Note that some incorrect passwords are not detected by the check done by zip_fopen().

[ZIP_ER_ZLIB]
    Initializing the zlib stream failed.

The function zip_fopen() may also fail and set zip_err for any of the errors specified for the routine zip_name_locate(3).

The function zip_fopen_index() may also fail with ZIP_ER_INVAL if index is invalid.
