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.
