.TH ZIP_SOURCE_FUNCTION 3 "March 4, 2007" NiH
.SH "NAME"
zip_source_function \- create data source from function
.SH "LIBRARY"
libzip (-lzip)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
#include <zip.h>
.PP
struct zip_source *
zip_source_function(struct zip *archive, zip_source_callback fn, void *userdata);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The function
zip_source_function
creates a zip source from the user-provided function
\fBfn,\fR
which must be of the following type:
.Bd \-literal
typedef ssize_t (*zip_source_callback)(void *state,
    void *data, size_t len, enum zip_source_cmd cmd);
.Ed
.PP
When called by the library, the first argument is the
\fBuserdata\fR
argument supplied to
zip_source_function.
The next two arguments are a buffer
\fBdata\fR
of size
\fBlen\fR
when data is expected to be returned, or else
\fBNULL\fR
and 0.
The last argument,
\fBcmd,\fR
specifies which action the function should perform:
.RS
.TP 21
\fBZIP_SOURCE_OPEN\fR
Prepare for reading.
Return 0 on success, \-1 on error.
.TP 21
\fBZIP_SOURCE_READ\fR
Read data into the buffer
\fBdata\fR
of size
\fBlen.\fR
Return the number of bytes placed into
\fBdata\fR
on success, \-1 on error.
.TP 21
\fBZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE\fR
Reading is done.
.TP 21
\fBZIP_SOURCE_STAT\fR
Get meta information for the input data.
\fBdata\fR
points to a struct zip_stat, which should be filled in.
(See
zip_stat_init(3). )
Usually, for uncompressed data, after
zip_stat_init(3),
only the mtime and size struct members will need to be set.
Return sizeof(struct zip_stat) on success, \-1 on error.
.TP 21
\fBZIP_SOURCE_ERROR\fR
Get error information.
\fBdata\fR
points to an array of two ints, which should be filled with the libzip
error code and the corresponding system error code for the error that
occurred.
See
zip_errors(3)
for details on the error codes.
Return return(2 * sizeof(int)).
.TP 21
\fBZIP_SOURCE_FREE\fR
Clean up and free all resources.
Return 0.
.RE
.PP
The library will always issue
\fBZIP_SOURCE_OPEN\fR
before issuing
\fBZIP_SOURCE_READ.\fR
When it no longer wishes to read from this source, it will issue
\fBZIP_SOURCE_CLOSE.\fR
If the library wishes to read the data again, it will issue
\fBZIP_SOURCE_OPEN\fR
a second time.
If the function is unable to provide the data again, it should
return \-1.
.PP
\fBZIP_SOURCE_STAT\fR
can be issued at any time.
\fBZIP_SOURCE_ERROR\fR
will only be issued in response to the function
returning \-1.
\fBZIP_SOURCE_FREE\fR
will be the last command issued.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
Upon successful completion, the created source is returned.
Otherwise,
\fBNULL\fR
is returned and the error code in
\fBarchive\fR
is set to indicate the error.
.SH "ERRORS"
zip_source_function
fails if:
.RS
.TP 4
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]
Required memory could not be allocated.
