ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE(3) Library Functions Manual ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRITE(3)

NAME

zip_source_begin_write, zip_source_begin_write_cloningprepare 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 () and zip_source_begin_write_cloning() prepare source for writing. Usually this involves creating temporary files or allocating buffers.

() preserves the first offset bytes of the original file. This is done efficiently, and writes to source won't overwrite the original data until () 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.
