The <b class="Fn">zip_open</b>() function opens the zip archive specified by
<var class="Ar">path</var> and returns a pointer to a <var class="Ft">struct
zip</var>, used to manipulate the archive. The <var class="Fa">flags</var> are
specified by <i class="Em">or</i><span class="No">'ing</span> the following
values, or 0 for none of them.

The <b class="Fn">zip_open_from_source</b>() function opens a zip archive
encapsulated by the zip_source <var class="Fa">zs</var> using the provided
<var class="Fa">flags</var>. In case of error, the zip_error
<var class="Fa">ze</var> is filled in.
<h1 class="Sh" id="RETURN_VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>
Upon successful completion <b class="Fn">zip_open</b>() and
<b class="Fn">zip_open_from_source</b>() return a <var class="Ft">struct
zip</var> pointer. Otherwise, <code class="Dv">NULL</code> is returned and
<b class="Fn">zip_open</b>() sets <var class="Ar">*errorp</var> to indicate
the error, while <b class="Fn">zip_open_from</b>(<var class="Fa">source</var>)
sets <var class="Ar">ze</var> to indicate the error.
