<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>
