NAME

     zip_get_archive_comment — get zip archive comment

LIBRARY

     libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <zip.h>

     const char *
     zip_get_archive_comment(zip_t *archive, int *lenp, zip_flags_t flags);

DESCRIPTION

     The zip_get_archive_comment() function returns the comment for the entire zip archive.  The
     return value 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 archive comment as it is in the ZIP
                                archive.

           ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS     (Default.)  Guess the encoding of the archive 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 the
                                archive comment, thus also expecting it in CP-437 encoding.
                                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.
