ZIP_FILE_GET_COMMENT(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME
zip_file_get_comment - get comment for file in zip
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
const char *
zip_file_get_comment(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index,
zip_uint32_t *lenp, zip_flags_t flags);
DESCRIPTION
The zip_file_get_comment() function returns the comment for the file at
position index in the zip archive. The name is in UTF-8 encoding unless
ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW was specified (see below). This pointer should not be
modified or free(3)'d, and becomes invalid when archive is closed. If
lenp is not NULL, the integer to which it points will be set to the
length of the comment. If flags is set to ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, the original
unchanged comment is returned.
Additionally, the following flags are supported:
ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW Return the unmodified comment as it is in the
ZIP archive.
ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS (Default.) Guess the encoding of the comment
in the ZIP archive and convert it to UTF-8, if
necessary. (Only CP-437 and UTF-8 are
recognized.)
ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT Follow the ZIP specification for file names
and extend it to file comments, expecting them
to be encoded in CP-437 in the ZIP archive
(except if it is a UTF-8 comment from the
special extra field). Convert it to UTF-8.
Note: ASCII is a subset of both CP-437 and UTF-8.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a pointer to the comment is returned, or NULL
if there is no comment. In case of an error, NULL is returned and the
error code in archive is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
zip_file_get_comment() fails if:
[ZIP_ER_INVAL] index is not a valid file index in archive.
