ZIP_ERROR_CODE_SYSTEM(3)

✨ ZIP_ERROR_CODE_SYSTEM ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual — the ZIP_ERROR_CODE_SYSTEM(3) one, to be exact 🎀 — and it's literally the tiniest lil libzip page ever, so we're gonna speedrun it together 💅

---

🦋 NAME 🦋

zip_error_code_system — get the operating system error part of a zip_error

like... it's the lil piece of the error that came from the OS itself, not from zip. two different flavours of oopsie, bestie 😭

---

💖 LIBRARY 💖

libzip (-lzip)

that's the one. link it, love it, <pink>slay</pink>. 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <zip.h>

int
zip_error_code_system(const zip_error_t *ze);

look at her. one function, one argument, returns an int. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the zip_error_code_system() function returns the system specific part of the error from the zip_error error ze. that's it. that's the whole job. she's giving "I do one thing and I do it well" 💅

and if you're sitting there like "okay but WHICH system reported this error tho??" — bestie, that's not this function's business. for finding out what system reported the error, use zip_error_system_type(3). different function, different vibe, go ask her 🙈

quick vibe check: this function tells you the system part of the error. it does NOT tell you which system — that's zip_error_system_type(3)'s whole thing. don't mix them up, bestie 😭
