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.
