NAME
zip_source_buffer, zip_source_buffer_create - create zip data source from
buffer
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer(zip_t *archive, const void *data, zip_uint64_t len,
int freep);
zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer_create(const void *data, zip_uint64_t len, int freep,
zip_error_t *error);
DESCRIPTION
The functions zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() create a
zip source from the buffer data of size len. If freep is non-zero, the
buffer will be freed when it is no longer needed. data must remain valid
for the lifetime of the created source.
The source can be used to open a zip archive from.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the created source is returned. Otherwise,
NULL is returned and the error code in archive or error is set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() fail if:
[ZIP_ER_INVAL] len is greater than zero and data is NULL.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated.
