NAME
zip_source_begin_write,
  
zip_source_begin_write_cloning —
  
prepare zip source for writing
LIBRARY
libzip (-lzip)
SYNOPSIS
#include <zip.h>
int
zip_source_begin_write(
zip_source_t
  *source);
int
zip_source_begin_write_cloning(
zip_source_t
  *source, 
zip_uint64_t
  offset);
DESCRIPTION
The functions 
zip_source_begin_write() and
  
zip_source_begin_write_cloning() prepare
  
source for writing. Usually this involves creating
  temporary files or allocating buffers.
zip_source_begin_write_cloning() preserves the first
  
offset bytes of the original file. This is done
  efficiently, and writes to 
source won't overwrite the
  original data until 
zip_commit_write() is called.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the
  error information in 
source is set to indicate the
  error.
