zip_source_win32handle(3) Library Functions Manual zip_source_win32handle(3)
NAME
zip_source_win32handle, zip_source_win32handle_create - create data
source from a Windows file handle
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
zip_source_t *
zip_source_win32handle(zip_t *archive, HANDLE h, zip_uint64_t start,
zip_int64_t len);
zip_source_t *
zip_source_win32handle_create(HANDLE h, zip_uint64_t start,
zip_int64_t len, zip_error_t *error);
DESCRIPTION
The functions zip_source_win32handle() and
zip_source_win32handle_create() create a zip source from a Windows file
handle. They read len bytes from offset start from it. If len is 0 or
-1, the whole file (starting from start) is used.
If the file supports seek, the source can be used to open a zip archive
from.
The file is opened and read when the data from the source is used,
usually by zip_close() or zip_open_from_source().
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_w32handle() and zip_source_w32handle_create() fail if:
[ZIP_ER_INVAL] h, start, or len are invalid.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated.
