zip_close

close zip archive

libzip (-lzip)

#include <zip.h>

int zip_close(struct zip *archive);

The zip_close function closes archive and frees the memory allocated for it. If any files within were changed, those changes are written to disk first. If writing changes fails, zip_close fails and archive is left unchanged. If archive contains no files, the file is completely removed (no empty archive is written).

Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

zip_close will fail if:

[ZIP_ER_EOF]
Unexpected end-of-file found while reading from a file.
[ZIP_ER_INTERNAL]
The callback function of an added or replaced file returned an error but failed to report which.
[ZIP_ER_INVAL]
The path argument is NULL.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
Required memory could not be allocated.
[ZIP_ER_NOZIP]
File is not a zip archive.
[ZIP_ER_READ]
A file read failed.
[ZIP_ER_RENAME]
A temporary file could not be renamed to its final name.
[ZIP_ER_SEEK]
A file seek failed.
[ZIP_ER_TMPOPEN]
A temporary file could not be created.
[ZIP_ER_WRITE]
A file write failed.
[ZIP_ER_ZLIB]
An error occurred while (de)compressing a stream with zlib(3).
Additionally, any errors returned by the callback function for added or replaced files will be passed back.

libzip(3), zip_error_get(3), zip_fdopen(3), zip_open(3), zip_strerror(3)
