ZZIP_DISK_MMAP(3) zziplib Function List ZZIP_DISK_MMAP(3)NAME
zzip_disk_mmap, zzip_disk_init, zzip_disk_new, zzip_disk_munmap,
zzip_disk_open, zzip_disk_buffer, zzip_disk_close - turn a filehandle
into a mmapped zip disk archive handle
SYNOPSIS
#include <zzip/mmapped.h>
zzip__new__ ZZIP_DISK * zzip_disk_mmap((int fd));
int
zzip_disk_init((ZZIP_DISK * disk, void *buffer, zzip_size_t buflen));
zzip__new__ ZZIP_DISK * zzip_disk_new((void));
int zzip_disk_munmap((ZZIP_DISK * disk));
zzip__new__ ZZIP_DISK * zzip_disk_open((char *filename));
zzip__new__ ZZIP_DISK *
zzip_disk_buffer((void *buffer, size_t buflen));
int zzip_disk_close((ZZIP_DISK * disk));
DESCRIPTION
The zzip_disk_mmap function uses the given file-descriptor to detect
the length of the file and calls the system mmap(2) to put it in main
memory. If it is successful then a newly allocated ZZIP_DISK* is
returned with disk->buffer pointing to the mapview of the zipdisk
content.
The zzip_disk_init function does primary initialization of a
disk-buffer struct.
The zzip_disk_new function allocates a new disk-buffer with malloc(3)
The zzip_disk_munmap function is the inverse of zzip_disk_mmap and
using the system munmap(2) on the buffer area and free(3) on the
ZZIP_DISK structure.
The zzip_disk_open function opens the given archive by name and turn
the filehandle to zzip_disk_mmap for bringing it to main memory. If it
can not be mmap(2)´ed then we slurp the whole file into a newly
malloc(2)´ed memory block. Only if that fails too then we return null.
Since handling of disk->buffer is ambigous it should not be snatched
away please.
The zzip_disk_buffer function will attach a buffer with a zip image
that was acquired from another source than a file. Note that if
zzip_disk_mmap fails then zzip_disk_open will fall back and try to read
the full file to memory wrapping a ZZIP_DISK around the memory buffer
just as the zzip_disk_buffer function will do. Note that the
zzip_disk_buffer function will not own the buffer, it will neither be
written nor free()d.
The zzip_disk_close function will release all data needed to access a
(mmapped) zip archive, including any malloc()ed blocks, sharedmem
mappings and it dumps the handle struct as well.
