| <code class="Nm">libzip</code> is a library for reading, creating, and modifying |
| zip archives. |
| <p class="Pp">The main design criteria for <code class="Nm">libzip</code> |
| were:</p> |
| <ul class="Bl-bullet Bl-compact"> |
| <li>Do not create corrupt files, even in case of errors.</li> |
| <li>Do not delete data.</li> |
| <li>Be efficient.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p class="Pp">For this reason, when modifying zip archives, |
| <code class="Nm">libzip</code> writes to a temporary file and replaces the |
| original zip archive atomically.</p> |
| <p class="Pp">Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to |
| read from zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.</p> |
| <section class="Ss"> |
| <h2 class="Ss" id="THREAD_SAFETY"><a class="permalink" href="#THREAD_SAFETY">THREAD |
| SAFETY</a></h2> |
| In general, different zip archives opened by <code class="Nm">libzip</code> are |
| independent of each other and can be used by parallel-running threads without |
| locking. If you want to use an archive from multiple threads, you have to |
| synchronize access to it yourself. If you use an archive as a source for |
| <a class="Xr" href="zip_file_add.html">zip_file_add(3)</a> or |
| <a class="Xr" href="zip_file_replace.html">zip_file_replace(3)</a>, access to |
| the target archive must be synchronized with access to the source archive as |
| well. |
