NAME
zip_source_begin_write,
zip_source_begin_write_cloning —
prepare zip source for writing
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
int
zip_source_begin_write(
zip_source_t
*source);
int
zip_source_begin_write_cloning(
zip_source_t
*source,
zip_uint64_t
offset);
DESCRIPTION
The functions
zip_source_begin_write() and
zip_source_begin_write_cloning() prepare
source for writing. Usually this involves creating
temporary files or allocating buffers.
zip_source_begin_write_cloning() preserves the first
offset bytes of the original file. This is done
efficiently, and writes to
source won't overwrite the
original data until
zip_commit_write() is called.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the
error information in
source is set to indicate the
error.
