NAME

       zip_file_get_external_attributes - get external attributes for file in zip

LIBRARY

       libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

       zip.h  const  char  *  zip_file_get_external_attributes  zip_t *archive zip_uint64_t index
       zip_flags_t flags zip_uint8_t *opsys zip_uint32_t *attributes

DESCRIPTION

       The zip_file_get_external_attributes function returns the operating  system  and  external
       attributes  for  the  file  at position index in the zip archive.  The external attributes
       usually contain the operating system-specific  file  permissions.   If  flags  is  set  to
       ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED,  the original unchanged values are returned.  If opsys or attributes are
       NULL, they are not filled in.

       The following operating systems are defined by the zip specification:

       ZIP_OPSYS_ACORN_RISC

       ZIP_OPSYS_ALTERNATE_MVS

       ZIP_OPSYS_AMIGA

       ZIP_OPSYS_ATARI_ST

       ZIP_OPSYS_BEOS

       ZIP_OPSYS_CPM

       ZIP_OPSYS_DOS

RETURN VALUES

       Upon  successful  completion,  0 is returned.  In case of an error, -1 is returned and the
       error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

EXAMPLES

       The following  code  can  be  used  to  expand  attributes  if  the  operating  system  is
       ZIP_OPSYS_DOS.
       #include <sys/stat.h>

       #define FA_RDONLY       0x01            // FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
       #define FA_DIREC        0x10            // FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY

       static mode_t
       _zip_dos_attr2mode(zip_uint32_t attr)
       {
          mode_t m = S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH;
          if (0 == (attr & FA_RDONLY))
             m |= S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH;

          if (attr & FA_DIREC)
             m = (S_IFDIR | (m & ~S_IFMT)) | S_IXUSR | S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH;

          return m;
       }
