NAME

zip_close — close zip archive

LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

int
zip_close(zip_t *archive);

DESCRIPTION

The zip_close() function writes any changes made to archive to disk. If archive contains no files, the file is completely removed (no empty archive is written), unless the archive flag ZIP_AFL_CREATE_OR_KEEP_FILE_FOR_EMPTY_ARCHIVE is set. If successful, archive is freed. Otherwise archive is left unchanged and must still be freed.

To close and free a zip archive without saving changes, use zip_discard(3).

Progress updates for GUIs can be implemented using zip_register_progress_callback_with_state(3). Cancelling the write of an archive during zip_close can be implemented using zip_register_cancel_callback_with_state(3).

RETURN VALUES

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

CAVEATS

Please note that all indices, zip_stat(3) information and other data about the archive is invalid after zip_close. When you open the same file again, it will be a completely new zip_t structure.
