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.

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.
