SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13     libzip is a library for reading, creating, and modifying zip archives.
14
15     The main design criteria for libzip were:
16     ·   Do not create corrupt files, even in case of errors.
17     ·   Do not delete data.
18     ·   Be efficient.
19
20     For this reason, when modifying zip archives, libzip writes to a tempo‐
21     rary file and replaces the original zip archive atomically.
22
23     Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to read from
24     zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.
