# NAME

zip_source_buffer, zip_source_buffer_create — create zip data source from buffer

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>
zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer(zip_t *archive, const void *data, zip_uint64_t len, int freep);
zip_source_t *
zip_source_buffer_create(const void *data, zip_uint64_t len, int freep, zip_error_t *error);

# DESCRIPTION

The functions zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() create a zip source from the buffer data of size len. If freep is non-zero, the buffer will be freed when it is no longer needed. data must remain valid for the lifetime of the created source.
The source can be used to open a zip archive from.

# 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.

# ERRORS

zip_source_buffer() and zip_source_buffer_create() fail if:

[`ZIP_ER_INVAL`]
  len is greater than zero and data is `NULL`.
[`ZIP_ER_MEMORY`]
  Required memory could not be allocated.
