NAME

       zip_file_get_comment - get comment for file in zip

LIBRARY

       libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <zip.h>

       const char *
       zip_file_get_comment(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_uint32_t *lenp,
           zip_flags_t flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The zip_file_get_comment() function returns the comment for the file at position index in
       the zip archive.  The name is in UTF-8 encoding unless ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW was specified (see
       below).  This pointer should not be modified or free(3)'d, and becomes invalid when
       archive is closed.  If lenp is not NULL, the integer to which it points will be set to the
       length of the comment.  If flags is set to ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, the original unchanged
       comment is returned.

       Additionally, the following flags are supported:

             ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW       Return the unmodified comment as it is in the ZIP archive.

             ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS     (Default.)  Guess the encoding of the comment in the ZIP
                                  archive and convert it to UTF-8, if necessary.

             ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT    Follow the ZIP specification for file names and extend it to
                                  file comments, expecting them to be encoded in CP-437 in the
                                  ZIP archive (except if it is a UTF-8 comment from the special
                                  extra field).  Convert it to UTF-8.
       Note: ASCII is a subset of both CP-437 and UTF-8.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, a pointer to the comment is returned, or NULL if there is no
       comment.  In case of an error, NULL is returned and the error code in archive is set to
       indicate the error.

ERRORS

       zip_file_get_comment() fails if:

       [ZIP_ER_INVAL]     index is not a valid file index in archive.
