ZIP_FILE_ADD(3) 	     Library Functions Manual		 ZIP_FILE_ADD(3)

NAME
     zip_file_add,  zip_file_replace  -- add file to zip archive or replace file
     in zip archive

LIBRARY
     libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <zip.h>

     zip_int64_t
     zip_file_add(zip_t *archive, const char *name, zip_source_t *source,
	 zip_flags_t flags);

     int
     zip_file_replace(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_source_t *source,
	 zip_flags_t flags);

DESCRIPTION
     The  function  zip_file_add()  adds  a  file  to  a  zip	archive,   while
     zip_file_replace()  replaces  an existing file in a zip archive.  The argu-
     ment archive specifies the zip archive to which the file should  be  added.
     name  is  the  file's  name  in the zip archive (for zip_file_add()), while
     index specifies which file should	be  replaced  (for  zip_file_replace()).
     The  flags  argument can be any combination of ZIP_FL_OVERWRITE with one of
     ZIP_FL_ENC_*:

     ZIP_FL_OVERWRITE	   Overwrite any existing file of the  same  name.   For
			   zip_file_add only.

     ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS	   Guess  encoding  of name (default).	(Only CP-437 and
			   UTF-8 are recognized.)

     ZIP_FL_ENC_UTF_8	   Interpret name as UTF-8.

     ZIP_FL_ENC_CP437	   Interpret name as code page 437 (CP-437).
     The data is obtained from the source argument, see zip_source(5).

     NOTE: zip_source_free(3) should not be called on a source after it was used
     successfully in a zip_file_add or zip_file_replace call.

     Please also note that when using zip_replace, the target file's extra field
     information will be deleted since this usually is	dependent  on  the  file
     contents.	  If   you  want  to  keep  them,  query  them	beforehand  with
     zip_file_extra_field_get(3)  and  restore	them  after   zip_replace   with
     zip_file_extra_field_set(3).

RETURN VALUES
     Upon  successful  completion,  zip_file_add()  returns the index of the new
     file in the archive, and zip_file_replace() returns 0.   Otherwise,  -1  is
     returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

EXAMPLES
	   zip_source_t *s;
	   const char buf[]="teststring";

	   if ((s=zip_source_buffer(archive, buf, sizeof(buf), 0)) == NULL ||
	       zip_file_add(archive, name, s, ZIP_FL_ENC_UTF_8) < 0) {
	       zip_source_free(s);
	       printf("error adding file: %s\n", zip_strerror(archive));
	   }

ERRORS
     zip_file_add() and zip_file_replace() fail if:

     [ZIP_ER_EXISTS]	There  is  already  a  file  called name in the archive.
			(Only	applies   to   zip_file_add(),	 and   only   if
			ZIP_FL_OVERWRITE is not provided).

     [ZIP_ER_INVAL]	source or name are NULL, or index is invalid.

     [ZIP_ER_MEMORY]	Required memory could not be allocated.

     [ZIP_ER_RDONLY]	Archive was opened in read-only mode.
