LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

12       #include <zip.h>
13
14       struct zip * zip_fdopen(int fd, int flags, int *errorp);
15

DESCRIPTION

17       The  zip archive specified by the open file descriptor fd is opened and
18       a pointer to a
19
20       struct zip, used to manipulate the archive, is returned.   In  contrast
21       to zip_open(3), using the archive can only be opened in read-only mode.
22       The fd argument may not be used any longer after calling The are speci‐
23       fied by or'ing the following values, or 0 for none of them.
24
25              ZIP_CHECKCONS  Perform  additional consistency checks on the ar‐
26                             chive, and error if they fail.
27
28       If an error occurs and errorp is it will be set  to  the  corresponding
29       error code.

RETURN VALUES

32       Upon successful completion zip_fdopen returns a
33
34       struct zip pointer, and fd should not be used any longer, nor passed to
35       close(2).  Otherwise, NULL is returned and *errorp is set  to  indicate
36       the error.  In the error case, fd remains unchanged.
