# NAME

`zip_get_num_entries` —
get number of entries in archive

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

zip_int64_t
`zip_get_num_entries`(zip_t *archive, zip_flags_t flags);

# DESCRIPTION

The `zip_get_num_entries`() function returns the number of entries in archive. Entries are all files that are present in the original archive or that were added while the archive is open. This includes deleted files, since indices are not renumbered until the archive is closed. (This allows to refer to deleted files, e. g. to undelete them.)

If flags is set to `ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED`, the original number of files is returned.

# RETURN VALUES

`zip_get_num_entries`() returns the number of entries in the zip archive, or -1 if archive is `NULL`.

# SEE ALSO

libzip(3), zip_fopen_index(3), zip_stat_index(3)

# HISTORY

`zip_get_num_entries`() was added in libzip 0.10. In libzip 0.11 the return type was changed from zip_uint64_t to zip_int64_t. In libzip 0.11 the type of flags was changed from int to zip_flags_t.
