ZIP_ERROR_GET(3)

💖 ZIP_ERROR_GET(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual page for ZIP_ERROR_GET — yes that's the manual name, and yes we're doing this together, hand in hand, because you deserve to know what's up 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

zip_error_get, zip_file_error_get — grab the error codes for an archive or a file, but like… the obsolete interface way 👵💀

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip) — she's linked, she's loaded, she's ready 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <zip.h>

void
zip_error_get(zip_t *archive, int *zep, int *sep);

void
zip_file_error_get(zip_file_t *file, int *zep, int *sep);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so real talk: zip_error_get() and zip_file_error_get() are deprecated. not like "kinda old" deprecated, like actually deprecated, and the universe has moved on. please use zip_error_code_system(3), zip_error_code_zip(3), zip_file_get_error(3), and zip_get_error(3) instead. no cap. 🧚

for zip_error_get(), you're replacing this:

int ze, se;
zip_error_get(za, &ze, &se);

with this:

int ze, se;
zip_error_t *error = zip_get_error(za);
ze = zip_error_code_zip(error);
se = zip_error_code_system(error);

and for zip_file_error_get(), the glow-up goes like this — replace:

int ze, se;
zip_file_error_get(zf, &ze, &se);

with:

int ze, se;
zip_error_t *error = zip_file_get_error(zf);
ze = zip_error_code_zip(error);
se = zip_error_code_system(error);

see how much cleaner that is?? it's giving ✨modern codebase✨, it's giving main character energy, it's giving "my error handling has a type now". obsessed honestly 😭

and that's the whole page bestie!! this one came from the Debian crew, dated December 18, 2017, and it's sitting at the very bottom of ZIP_ERROR_GET(3) like a lil signature 💜 go forth, migrate off the deprecated functions, and slay your error handling 💖✨🎀
