NAME

       libzip — library for manipulating zip archives

LIBRARY

       libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <zip.h>

DESCRIPTION

       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.
