libzip

libzip (-lzip)

#include <zip.h>

libzip is a library for reading, creating, and modifying zip archives.

The main design criteria for libzip were:

• Do not create corrupt files, even in case of errors.
• Do not delete data.
• Be efficient.

For this reason, when modifying zip archives, libzip writes to a temporary file and replaces the original zip archive atomically.

Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to read from zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.

• zip_error_strerror(3)
• zip_strerror(3)
• zip_file_strerror(3)
• zip_get_error(3)
• zip_error_init_with_code(3)
• zip_error_system_type(3)
• zip_errors(3)
