SYNOPSIS

#include <zip.h>

DESCRIPTION

The zip_file_set_encryption() function sets the encryption method for the file at position index in the zip archive to method using the password password. The method is the same as returned by zip_stat(3). For the method argument, currently only the following values are supported:

ZIP_EM_NONE

Winzip AES-128 encryption.

ZIP_EM_AES_192

Winzip AES-192 encryption.

ZIP_EM_AES_256

ZIP_EM_TRAD_PKWARE

Traditional PKWare encryption. Do not use this method, it is not secure. It is only provided for backwards compatibility.

If password is NULL, the default password provided by zip_set_default_password(3) is used.

The current encryption method for a file in a zip archive can be determined using zip_stat(3).

RETURN VALUES

Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the error information in archive is set to indicate the error.
