# NAME

`zip_name_locate` —
get index of file by name

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

zip_int64_t
`zip_name_locate`(zip_t *archive, const char *fname, zip_flags_t flags);

# DESCRIPTION

The `zip_name_locate`() function returns the index of the file named fname in archive. If archive does not contain a file with that name, -1 is returned. The flags are specified by or'ing the following values, or 0 for none of them.

`ZIP_FL_NOCASE`
  Ignore case distinctions. (Will only work well if the file names are ASCII.) With this flag, `zip_name_locate`() will be slow for archives with many files.
`ZIP_FL_NODIR`
  Ignore directory part of file name in archive. With this flag, `zip_name_locate`() will be slow for archives with many files.
`ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW`
  Compare against the unmodified names as it is in the ZIP archive.
`ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS`
  (Default.) Guess the encoding of the name in the ZIP archive and convert it to UTF-8, if necessary, before comparing.
`ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT`
  Follow the ZIP specification and expect CP-437 encoded names in the ZIP archive (except if they are explicitly marked as UTF-8). Convert it to UTF-8 before comparing.

Note: ASCII is a subset of both CP-437 and UTF-8.

# RETURN VALUES

`zip_name_locate`() returns the index of the file named fname or -1, if archive does not contain an entry of that name.

# ERRORS

`zip_name_locate`() fails if:

[`ZIP_ER_INVAL`]
  One of the arguments is invalid.
[`ZIP_ER_MEMORY`]
  Required memory could not be allocated.
[`ZIP_ER_NOENT`]
  No entry of the name fname is found in the archive.
