The <code class="Fn">zip_set_file_compression</code>() function sets the
compression method for the file at position <var class="Ar">index</var> in the
zip archive to <var class="Ar">comp</var> with the compression method specific
<var class="Ar">comp_flags</var>. The <var class="Ar">comp</var> is the same
as returned by <a class="Xr" href="zip_stat.html">zip_stat(3)</a>. For the
<var class="Ar">comp</var> argument, currently only the following values are
supported:
<dl class="Bl-tag">
<dt><a class="permalink" href="#ZIP_CM_DEFAULT"><code class="Dv" id="ZIP_CM_DEFAULT">ZIP_CM_DEFAULT</code></a></dt>
<dd>default compression; currently the same as
<code class="Dv">ZIP_CM_DEFLATE</code>, but <var class="Ar">flags</var>
are ignored.</dd>
<dt><a class="permalink" href="#ZIP_CM_STORE"><code class="Dv" id="ZIP_CM_STORE">ZIP_CM_STORE</code></a></dt>
<dd>Store the file uncompressed.</dd>
<dt><a class="permalink" href="#ZIP_CM_BZIP2"><code class="Dv" id="ZIP_CM_BZIP2">ZIP_CM_BZIP2</code></a></dt>
<dd>Compress the file using the <a class="Xr" href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/bzip2.html">bzip2(1)</a>
algorithm.</dd>

<dd>Deflate the file with the <a class="Xr" href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/zlib.html">zlib(3)</a>
algorithm and default options.</dd>
</dl>
<p class="Pp"><i class="Em">NOTE</i>: Only the deflate and store methods can be
assumed to be universally supported.</p>
<p class="Pp">The <var class="Ar">comp_flags</var> argument defines the
compression level, 1 being fastest compression and 9 highest. Allowed values
are 0 (which uses the default compression for the algorithm) and 1-9, other
values are undefined. Further compression method specific flags might be
added over time.</p>
<p class="Pp">The current compression method for a file in a zip archive can be
determined using <a class="Xr" href="zip_stat.html">zip_stat(3)</a>.</p>

Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the
error information in <var class="Ar">archive</var> is set to indicate the
