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:

The current encryption method for a file in a zip archive can be determined using zip_stat(3).
