libzip (-lzip)

#include <zip.h>

libzip is a library for reading, creating, and modifying zip archives.

The main design criteria for libzip were:

• Do not create corrupt files, even in case of errors.

• Do not delete data.

• Be efficient.

For this reason, when modifying zip archives, libzip writes to a temporary file and replaces the original zip archive atomically.

Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to read from zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.

Unless explicitly documented, functions should not be passed NULL pointers as arguments.

In general, different zip archives opened by libzip 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 zip_file_add(3) or zip_file_replace(3), access to the target archive must be synchronized with access to the source archive as well.
