ZIP_SOURCE_ZIP(3) | Library Functions Manual | ZIP_SOURCE_ZIP(3)

# NAME

`zip_source_zip`, `zip_source_zip_create` — create data source from zip file (obsolete interface)

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

zip_source_t *
`zip_source_zip`(zip_t *archive, zip_t *srcarchive, zip_uint64_t srcidx, zip_flags_t flags, zip_uint64_t start, zip_int64_t len);

zip_source_t *
`zip_source_zip_create`(zip_t *srcarchive, zip_uint64_t srcidx, zip_flags_t flags, zip_uint64_t start, zip_int64_t len, zip_error_t *error);

# DESCRIPTION

The functions `zip_source_zip`() and `zip_source_zip_create`() are the obsolete versions of zip_source_zip_file(3) or zip_source_zip_file_create(3) respectively. If you want to get the compressed data of the complete file, use

`zip_source_zip_file(za, source_archive, source_index, ZIP_FL_COMPRESSED, 0, -1, NULL)`

The functions `zip_source_zip`() and `zip_source_zip_create`() create a zip source from a file in a zip archive. The srcarchive argument is the (open) zip archive containing the source zip file at index srcidx. len bytes from offset start will be used in the zip_source. If len is 0 or -1, the rest of the file, starting from start, is used. If start is zero and len is -1, the whole file will be copied without decompressing it.

Supported flags are:

`ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED`
  Try to get the original data without any changes that may have been made to srcarchive after opening it.

# 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_zip`() and `zip_source_zip_create`() fail if:

[`ZIP_ER_CHANGED`]
  Unchanged data was requested, but it is not available.
[`ZIP_ER_INVAL`]
  srcarchive, srcidx, start, or len are invalid.
[`ZIP_ER_MEMORY`]
  Required memory could not be allocated.

Additionally, it can return all error codes from `zip_stat_index`() and `zip_fopen_index`().

# HISTORY

`zip_source_zip`() was added in libzip 1.0. `zip_source_zip_create`() was added in libzip 1.8.0. Both were deprecated in libzip 1.10.0. Use `zip_source_zip_file`() or `zip_source_zip_file_create`() instead.
