#include <zip.h>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, the zip_error_init() function initializes the zip_error pointed to by error. that's it, that's the job, she's a simple queen. 👑

but listen — *error must be allocated before calling zip_error_init(). not optional. allocate first, init second. iykyk. 💀

the zip_error_init_with_code() function does the same thing, but she does more, because she's the main character. on top of initializing, she also sets the zip error code to ze and sets the system error code to the current errno(3) value, if appropriate. slay. 🌈
