ZIP_FILE_GET_EXTERNAL_ATTRIBUTES(3)

NAME
zip_file_get_external_attributes - get external attributes for file in zip

LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>

int
zip_file_get_external_attributes(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_flags_t flags, zip_uint8_t *opsys, zip_uint32_t *attributes);

DESCRIPTION
The zip_file_get_external_attributes() function returns the operating system and external attributes for the file at position index in the zip archive. The external attributes usually contain the operating system-specific file permissions. If flags is set to ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, the original unchanged values are returned. If opsys or attributes are NULL, they are not filled in.

The following operating systems are defined by the zip specification:
    ZIP_OPSYS_ACORN_RISC
    ZIP_OPSYS_ALTERNATE_MVS
    ZIP_OPSYS_AMIGA
    ZIP_OPSYS_ATARI_ST
    ZIP_OPSYS_BEOS
    ZIP_OPSYS_CPM
    ZIP_OPSYS_DOS
    ZIP_OPSYS_MACINTOSH
    ZIP_OPSYS_MVS
    ZIP_OPSYS_OPENVMS
    ZIP_OPSYS_OS_2
    ZIP_OPSYS_OS_400
    ZIP_OPSYS_OS_X
    ZIP_OPSYS_TANDEM
    ZIP_OPSYS_UNIX
    ZIP_OPSYS_VFAT
    ZIP_OPSYS_VM_CMS
    ZIP_OPSYS_VSE
    ZIP_OPSYS_WINDOWS_NTFS (uncommon, use ZIP_OPSYS_DOS instead)
    ZIP_OPSYS_Z_SYSTEM

The defines above follow the PKWARE Inc. Appnote; please note that the InfoZIP Appnote has a slightly different mapping.

RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. In case of an error, -1 is returned and the error code in archive is set to indicate the error.

EXAMPLES
The following code can be used to expand attributes if the operating system is ZIP_OPSYS_DOS.

    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #define FA_RDONLY       0x01            // FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
    #define FA_DIREC        0x10            // FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY
    static mode_t
    _zip_dos_attr2mode(zip_uint32_t attr)
    {
       mode_t m = S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH;
       if (0 == (attr & FA_RDONLY))
          m |= S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH;
       if (attr & FA_DIREC)
          m = (S_IFDIR | (m & ~S_IFMT)) | S_IXUSR | S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH;
       return m;
    }
