 Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to read
 from zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.
+.Ss THREAD SAFETY
+In general, different zip archives opened by
+.Nm
+are independent of each other and can be used by parallel-running
+threads without locking.
+If you want to use an archive from multiple threads, you have to
+synchronize access to it yourself.
+If you use an archive as a source for
+.Xr zip_file_add 3
+or
+.Xr zip_file_replace 3 ,
+access to the target archive must be synchronized with access to the
+source archive as well.
