Overview

The functions zip_source_win32a() and zip_source_win32a_create() create a zip source on Windows using a Windows ANSI name. They open fname and read len bytes from offset start from it. For a description of the len argument, see zip_source_file(3).

If the file supports seek, the source can be used to open a zip archive from.

The file is opened and read when the data from the source is used, usually by zip_close() or zip_open_from_source().

Return values

Upon successful completion, the created source is returned. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the error code in archive or error is set to indicate the error.

zip_source_win32a() and zip_source_win32a_create() fail if:

[ZIP_ER_INVAL]

fname, start, or len are invalid.

[ZIP_ER_MEMORY]

Required memory could not be allocated.
