ZIP_STAT(3) | Library Functions Manual | ZIP_STAT(3)

# NAME

`zip_stat`, `zip_stat_index` — get information about file

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

int
`zip_stat`(zip_t *archive, const char *fname, zip_flags_t flags, zip_stat_t *sb);

int
`zip_stat_index`(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_flags_t flags, zip_stat_t *sb);

# DESCRIPTION

The `zip_stat`() function obtains information about the file named fname in archive. The flags argument specifies how the name lookup should be done. Its values are described in zip_name_locate(3). Also, `ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED` may be or'ed to it to request information about the original file in the archive, ignoring any changes made.

The `zip_stat_index`() function obtains information about the file at position index.

The sb argument is a pointer to a struct zip_stat (shown below), into which information about the file is placed.

    struct zip_stat {
        zip_uint64_t valid;                 /* which fields have valid values */
        const char *name;                   /* name of the file */
        zip_uint64_t index;                 /* index within archive */
        zip_uint64_t size;                  /* size of file (uncompressed) */
        zip_uint64_t comp_size;             /* size of file (compressed) */
        time_t mtime;                       /* modification time */
        zip_uint32_t crc;                   /* crc of file data */
        zip_uint16_t comp_method;           /* compression method used */
        zip_uint16_t encryption_method;     /* encryption method used */
        zip_uint32_t flags;                 /* reserved for future use */
    };

The structure pointed to by sb must be allocated before calling `zip_stat`() or `zip_stat_index`().

The valid field of the structure specifies which other fields are valid. Check if the flag defined by the following defines are in valid before accessing the fields:

`ZIP_STAT_NAME`
  name
`ZIP_STAT_INDEX`
  index
`ZIP_STAT_SIZE`
  size
`ZIP_STAT_COMP_SIZE`
  comp_size
`ZIP_STAT_MTIME`
  mtime
`ZIP_STAT_CRC`
  crc
`ZIP_STAT_COMP_METHOD`
  comp_method
`ZIP_STAT_ENCRYPTION_METHOD`
  encryption_method
`ZIP_STAT_FLAGS`
  flags

# RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error information in archive is set to indicate the error.

# ERRORS

The function `zip_stat`() can fail for any of the errors specified for the routine zip_name_locate(3).

The function `zip_stat_index`() fails and sets the error information to `ZIP_ER_INVAL` if index is invalid. If `ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED` is not set and no information can be obtained from the source callback, the error information is set to `ZIP_ER_CHANGED`.

# HISTORY

`zip_stat`() was added in libzip 0.6. In libzip 0.11 the type of flags was changed from int to zip_flags_t.

`zip_stat_index`() was added in libzip 0.6. In libzip 0.10 the type of index was changed from int to zip_uint64_t. In libzip 0.11 the type of flags was changed from int to zip_flags_t.
