zip_source_buffer_fragment(3) Library Functions Manual
NAME
zip_source_buffer_fragment, zip_source_buffer_fragment_create - create
zip data source from multiple buffer
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer_fragment(zip_t *archive,
zip_buffer_fragment_t *fragments, zip_uint64_t nfragments,
int freep);
zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer_fragment_create(zip_buffer_fragment_t *fragments,
zip_uint64_t nfragments, int freep, zip_error_t *error);
DESCRIPTION
The functions zip_source_buffer_fragment() and
zip_source_buffer_fragment_create() create a zip source from the data in
fragments. nfragments specifies the number of fragments. If freep is
non-zero, the data will be freed when it is no longer needed.
struct zip_stat {
zip_uint8_t *data; /* pointer to the actual data */
zip_uint64_t length; /* length of this fragment */
};
The data fragments point to must remain valid for the lifetime of the
created source. fragments itself can be discarded once the source is
created.
The source can be used to open a zip archive from.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the created source is returned. Otherwise,
NULL is returned and the error code in archive or error is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() fail if:
[ZIP_ER_INVAL] nfragments is greater than zero and fragments is NULL.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated.
