ZIP_SET_FILE_COMMENT(3)

✨ ZIP_SET_FILE_COMMENT(3) ✨

ok so bestie, we're in the Library Functions Manual section of the ZIP_SET_FILE_COMMENT(3) page and it's giving "vintage but still iconic" 💅 because this function is literally the obsolete interface. it's the grandma of comment-setters. we respect her. we just don't call her anymore. periodt. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

zip_set_file_comment — set comment for file in zip (obsolete interface)

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <zip.h>

int
zip_set_file_comment(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index,
    const char *comment, int len);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okok so here's the tea ☕ — zip_set_file_comment() is the obsolete version of zip_file_set_comment(3). like, the old model. the original recipe. 🍓

the only differences between them are:

• the type of the len argument, and
• the extra flags argument that the new one has and this one doesn't.

and that's it. no cap. so zip_set_file_comment() is literally the same as calling zip_file_set_comment(3) with an empty flags argument. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

⚠️ bestie this one is obsolete — if you're writing new code, go say hi to zip_file_set_comment(3) instead 💜

📜 HISTORY 📜

so the timeline is giving main character arc ✨:

• zip_set_file_comment() was added in libzip 0.7. 🎉
• in libzip 0.10, the type of index was changed from int to zip_uint64_t. glow-up fr fr.
• it was deprecated in libzip 0.11 — so like, use zip_file_set_comment() instead. no more old interface, babe. 💅
