Measurements of the production cross sections of prompt , , , , , and charm hadrons at midrapidity in protonproton collisions at TeV with the ALICE detector are presented. The D-meson cross sections as a function of transverse momentum () are provided with improved precision and granularity. The ratios of -differential meson production cross sections based on this publication and on measurements at different rapidity and collision energy provide a constraint on gluon parton distribution functions at low values of Bjorken- (). The measurements of () baryon production extend the measured intervals down to ~GeV. These measurements are used to determine the charm-quark fragmentation fractions and the production cross section at midrapidity () based on the sum of the cross sections of the weakly-decaying ground-state charm hadrons , , , , and, for the first time, , and of the strongly-decaying mesons. The first measurements of and fragmentation fractions at midrapidity are also reported. A significantly larger fraction of charm quarks hadronising to baryons is found compared to and ep collisions. The production cross section at midrapidity is found to be at the upper bound of state-of-the-art perturbative QCD calculations.
