zip_fdopen

open zip archive using open file descriptor

libzip (-lzip)

#include <zip.h>

struct zip * zip_fdopen(int fd, int flags, int *errorp);

The zip archive specified by the open file descriptor fd is opened and a pointer to a

struct zip, used to manipulate the archive, is returned. In contrast to zip_open(3), using the archive can only be opened in read-only mode. The fd argument may not be used any longer after calling The are specified by or'ing the following values, or 0 for none of them.

Perform additional consistency checks on the archive, and error if they fail.

If an error occurs and errorp is it will be set to the corresponding error code.

Upon successful completion zip_fdopen returns a

struct zip pointer, and fd should not be used any longer, nor passed to close(2). Otherwise, NULL is returned and *errorp is set to indicate the error. In the error case, fd remains unchanged.

The file specified by fd is prepared for use by libzip(3) unless:

[ZIP_ER_INCONS]
Inconsistencies were found in the file specified by path and ZIP_CHECKCONS was specified.
[ZIP_ER_INVAL]
The flags argument is invalid. Not all zip_open(3) flags are allowed for see DESCRIPTION.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
Required memory could not be allocated.
[ZIP_ER_NOZIP]
The file specified by fd is not a zip archive.
[ZIP_ER_OPEN]
The file specified by fd could not be prepared for use by libzip(3).
[ZIP_ER_READ]
A read error occurred; see for details.
[ZIP_ER_SEEK]
The file specified by fd does not allow seeks.
