\- get string representation of zip error

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fB#include <zip.h>\fR
.sp

\fBzip_error_to_str\fR(\fIchar *buf\fR,\ \fIzip_uint64_t len\fR,\ \fIint ze\fR,\ \fIint se\fR);
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
The
\fBzip_error_to_str\fR()
function stores a string describing the libzip error code
\fIze\fR
in the user-provided buffer
\fIbuf\fR
which has size
\fIlen\fR.
The buffer is always NUL-terminated.
\fIse\fR
should be the value of the global variable
\fIerrno\fR
at the time of the error or the zlib error code, depending on
\fIze\fR.
.PP
\fBzip_error_to_str\fR()
is especially useful if
\fBzip_open\fR()
failed, since then there is no
\fIstruct zip\fR
is available to store the error code; otherwise
\fBzip_strerror\fR()
or
\fBzip_file_strerror\fR()
are more convenient.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
\fBzip_error_to_str\fR()
returns the number of characters that would have been written to a
sufficiently sized
\fIbuf\fR,
excluding the terminating NUL character.
