This is done by hacking awesome miniz library and layering functions on top of the miniz v1.15 API.
It was the reason, why I decided to write zip module on top of the miniz. It required a little bit hacking and wrapping some functions, but I kept simplicity. So, you can grab these 3 files and compile them into your project. I hope that interface is also extremely simple, so you will not have any problems to understand it.
- Create a new zip archive with default compression level.
struct zip_t *zip = zip_open("foo.zip", ZIP_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_LEVEL, 'w');
{
zip_entry_open(zip, "foo-1.txt");
{
char *buf = "Some data here...";
zip_entry_write(zip, buf, strlen(buf));
}
zip_entry_close(zip);
zip_entry_open(zip, "foo-2.txt");
{
// merge 3 files into one entry and compress them on-the-fly.
zip_entry_fwrite(zip, "foo-2.1.txt");
zip_entry_fwrite(zip, "foo-2.2.txt");
zip_entry_fwrite(zip, "foo-2.3.txt");
}
zip_entry_close(zip);
}
zip_close(zip);- Append to the existing zip archive.
struct zip_t *zip = zip_open("foo.zip", ZIP_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION_LEVEL, 'a');
{
zip_entry_open(zip, "foo-3.txt");
{
char *buf = "Append some data here...";
zip_entry_write(zip, buf, strlen(buf));
}
zip_entry_close(zip);
}
zip_close(zip);- Extract a zip archive into a folder.
