__zzip_try_open(3)

💖 __zzip_try_open 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the zziplib function list, and today's main character is __zzip_try_open ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

__zzip_try_open — internal.

like... it's an internal helper, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <zzip/lib.h>

int
__zzip_try_open(zzip_char_t* filename, int filemode, zzip_strings_t* ext, zzip_plugin_io_t io)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕ — the __zzip_try_open function will attach any of the .zip extensions, then try to open it with the open(2) call. it's giving very much "let me try the zip-y version first" energy 💅

this one is a helper function for zzip_dir_open, zzip_opendir and zzip_open — it's the backstage crew for those three, fr fr 👑

the __zzip_try_open function returns a new system file handle or -1 on error 😭. and on error, the __zzip_try_open function leaves the errno(3) of the underlying open(2) call on the last file — so that errno is literally sitting there from the last attempt, periodt.
