ZIP_ENCRYPTION_METHOD_SUPPORTED(3)

💖 zip_encryption_method_supported — the "is this encryption method even supported??" check 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in section 3 of the manual (Library Functions Manual, iykyk) and it's from libzip. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ LIBRARY ✨

libzip — and you link it like this, no cap:

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <zip.h>

int
zip_encryption_method_supported(zip_int16_t method, int encrypt);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so zip_encryption_method_supported() tells you whether the encryption method method is actually supported — and the vibe check depends on that encrypt argument:

• if encrypt is zero → it's asking about encryption
• otherwise → it's asking about decryption (yes literally the otherwise case, that's the rule)

that's it. that's the whole function. she's simple, she's iconic 💅

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

• returns 1 if the method is supported 🎉
• returns 0 otherwise 🙈
