# NAME

`zip_file_set_encryption` —
set encryption method for file in zip

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

int
`zip_file_set_encryption`(zip_t *archive, zip_uint64_t index, zip_uint16_t method, const char *password);

# 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`
  No encryption.
`ZIP_EM_AES_128`
  Winzip AES-128 encryption.
`ZIP_EM_AES_192`
  Winzip AES-192 encryption.
`ZIP_EM_AES_256`
  Winzip AES-256 encryption.

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.
