\fBlibzip\fR
\- library for manipulating zip archives
.SH "LIBRARY"
libzip (-lzip)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fB#include <zip.h>\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
\fBlibzip\fR
is a library for reading, creating, and modifying zip archives.
.PP
The main design criteria for
\fBlibzip\fR
were:
.PD 0
.TP 4n
\fB\(bu\fR
Do not create corrupt files, even in case of errors.
.TP 4n
\fB\(bu\fR
Do not delete data.
.TP 4n
\fB\(bu\fR
Be efficient.
.PD
.PP
For this reason, when modifying zip archives,
\fBlibzip\fR
writes to a temporary file and replaces the original
zip archive atomically.
.PP
Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to read
from zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.
