<code class="Nm">libzip</code> is a library for reading, creating, and modifying
zip archives.
<p class="Pp">The main design criteria for <code class="Nm">libzip</code>
were:</p>
<ul class="Bl-bullet Bl-compact">
<li>Do not create corrupt files, even in case of errors.</li>
<li>Do not delete data.</li>
<li>Be efficient.</li>
</ul>
<p class="Pp">For this reason, when modifying zip archives,
<code class="Nm">libzip</code> writes to a temporary file and replaces the
original zip archive atomically.</p>
<p class="Pp">Below there are two sections listing functions: one for how to
read from zip archives and one for how to create/modify them.</p>
