ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRIT... BSD Library Functions Manual ZIP_SOURCE_BEGIN_WRIT...


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.
