Other Alias

zip_file_replace

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

zip_int64_t

zip_file_add(zip_t *archive, const char *name, zip_source_t *source, zip_flags_t flags);

int

zip_file_replace(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_source_t *source, zip_flags_t flags);

DESCRIPTION

The function zip_file_add() adds a file to a zip archive, while zip_file_replace() replaces an existing file in a zip archive. The argument archive specifies the zip archive to which the file should be added. name is the file's name in the zip archive (for zip_file_add()), while index specifies which file should be replaced (for zip_file_replace()). The flags argument can be any combination of ZIP_FL_OVERWRITE with one of ZIP_FL_ENC_*:

ZIP_FL_OVERWRITE: Overwrite any existing file of the same name. For zip_file_add only.
ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS: Guess encoding of name (default).
ZIP_FL_ENC_UTF_8: Interpret name as UTF-8.
ZIP_FL_ENC_CP437: Interpret name as code page 437 (CP-437).

The data is obtained from the source argument, see zip_source(3).

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion, zip_file_add() returns the index of the new file in the archive, and zip_file_replace() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

EXAMPLES

: zip_source_t *s; const char buf="teststring"; if ((s=zip_source_buffer(archive, buffer, sizeof(buf), 0)) == NULL || zip_file_add(archive, name, s, ZIP_FL_ENC_UTF_8) < 0) { zip_source_free(s); printf("error adding file: %s\n", zip_strerror(archive)); }

ERRORS

zip_file_add() and zip_file_replace() fail if:

[ZIP_ER_EXISTS]: There is already a file called name in the archive. (Only applies to zip_file_add(), and only if ZIP_FL_OVERWRITE is not provided).
[ZIP_ER_INVAL]: source or name are NULL, or index is invalid.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]: Required memory could not be allocated.
[ZIP_ER_RDONLY]: Archive was opened in read-only mode.
