ZIP_SET_ARCHIVE_FLAG(3) | Library Functions Manual | ZIP_SET_ARCHIVE_FLAG(3)

# NAME

`zip_set_archive_flag` —
set zip archive flag

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

int
`zip_set_archive_flag`(zip_t *archive, zip_flags_t flag, int value);

# DESCRIPTION

The `zip_set_archive_flag`() function sets the flag flag for the archive archive to the value value.

Supported flags are:

`ZIP_AFL_CREATE_OR_KEEP_FILE_FOR_EMPTY_ARCHIVE`
  If this flag is cleared, the archive file will be removed if the archive is empty. If it is set, an empty archive will be created, which is not recommended by the zip specification.
`ZIP_AFL_RDONLY`
  If this flag is set, no modification to the archive are allowed. This flag can only be cleared if it was manually set with `zip_set_archive_flag`, not if the archive was opened read-only.
`ZIP_AFL_WANT_TORRENTZIP`
  If this flag is set, the archive will be written in torrentzip format.

# RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion 0 is returned, and -1 if an error occurred.
