ZIP_SET_FILE_COMPRESS... BSD Library Functions Manual ZIP_SET_FILE_COMPRESS...
NAME
zip_set_file_compression — set compression method for file in zip
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
int
zip_set_file_compression(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_int32_t comp, zip_uint32_t comp_flags);
DESCRIPTION
The zip_set_file_compression() function sets the compression method for the file at position index in the zip archive to comp with the compression method specific comp_flags. The comp is the same as returned by zip_stat(3). For the comp argument, currently only the following values are supported:
ZIP_CM_DEFAULT
default compression; currently the same as ZIP_CM_DEFLATE, but flags are ignored.
ZIP_CM_STORE
Store the file uncompressed.
ZIP_CM_BZIP2
Compress the file using the bzip2(1) algorithm.
ZIP_CM_DEFLATE
Deflate the file with the zlib(3) algorithm and default options.
NOTE: Only the deflate and store methods can be assumed to be universally supported.
The comp_flags argument defines the compression level, 1 being fastest compression and 9 highest. Allowed values are 0 (which uses the default compression for the algorithm) and 1-9, other values are undefined. Further compression method specific flags might be added over time.
The current compression method for a file in a zip archive can be determined using zip_stat(3).
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
zip_set_file_compression() fails if:
[ZIP_ER_COMPNOTSUPP]
Unsupported compression method requested.
[ZIP_ER_INVAL]
index is not a valid file index in archive, or the argument combination is invalid.
[ZIP_ER_RDONLY]
Read-only zip file, no changes allowed.
