NAME

       zip_source_file - create data source from a file

LIBRARY

       libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

       struct  zip_source  *  zip_source_file(struct  zip  *archive,  const  char  *fname); "zip_uint64_t start"
       "zip_int64_t len"

DESCRIPTION

       The function zip_source_file creates a zip source from a file.  zip_source_file opens fname and reads len
       bytes from offset start from it.  If len is 0 or -1, the whole file (starting from start ) is used.

       The fie is opened and read when the data from the source is used, usually by zip_close.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, the created source is returned.  Otherwise, NULL is returned  and  the  error
       code in archive is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       zip_source_file fails if:

              [ZIP_ER_INVAL]
                  fname, start, or len are invalid.

              [ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
                  Required memory could not be allocated.

              [ZIP_ER_OPEN]
                  Opening fname failed.
