ZIP_DISCARD(3)

✨ ZIP_DISCARD ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the zip_discard page 💖 it lives in the libzip manual, and it's honestly the "nvm, forget I said anything" of the archive world. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

zip_discard — close zip archive and discard changes 💅

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip) — that's the link flag you're gonna want, no cap ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <zip.h>

void
zip_discard(zip_t *archive);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, the zip_discard() function closes archive and frees the memory allocated for it 🔥

and here's the main character moment: any changes to the archive are not written to disk and get discarded 💀 like, gone. ghosted. never happened. periodt.

ngl this is the "close without saving" button of the libzip universe — if you had edits you actually cared about, they are NOT surviving this call 🙈
