man zip_close (3): close zip archive

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

int

zip_close(zip_t *archive);

DESCRIPTION

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).

To close a zip file without saving changes, use zip_discard(3).

RETURN VALUES

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

ERRORS

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.
