LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
zip_source_t * zip_source_file zip_t *archive const char *fname

ate const char *fname zip_uint64_t start zip_int64_t len zip_error_t

DESCRIPTION
The functions zip_source_file and zip_source_file_create create a zip
source from a file. They open fname and read len bytes from offset
start from it. If len is 0 or -1, the whole file (starting from start)
is used.
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, usu‐
ally 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 indi‐
cate the error.
ERRORS
zip_source_file and zip_source_file_create fail if:
[ZIP_ER_INVAL] fname, start, or len are invalid.
[ZIP_ER_MEMORY] Required memory could not be allocated.
[ZIP_ER_OPEN] Opening fname failed.
