Description

NAME
     zip_file_strerror, zip_strerror -- get string representation for a zip
     error

LIBRARY
     libzip (-lzip)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <zip.h>

     const char *
     zip_file_strerror(zip_file_t *file);

     const char *
     zip_strerror(zip_t *archive);

DESCRIPTION
     The zip_strerror() function returns a string describing the last error
     for the zip archive archive, while the zip_file_strerror() function does
     the same for a zip file file (one file in an archive).  The returned
     string must not be modified or freed, and becomes invalid when archive or
     file, respectively, is closed or on the next call to zip_strerror() or
     zip_file_strerror(), respectively, for the same archive.

RETURN VALUES
     zip_file_strerror() and zip_strerror() return a pointer to the error
     string.
