ZIP_ERROR_SET_FROM_SOURCE(3)

💖 ZIP_ERROR_SET_FROM_SOURCE — ok bestie let's talk error structs

sooo this is a page from the Library Functions Manual (yes that's the manual name, iconic) and it's about a little function that goes by zip_error_set_from_source. Come sit, I got you. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

zip_error_set_from_source — fill in zip_error structure from source. That's the whole vibe. It copies the error situation from one place into another. Slay.

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip) — so like, link against it with -lzip, duh. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <zip.h>

void
zip_error_set_from_source(zip_error_t *ze, zip_source_t *src);

void return, two pointers, no funny business. She's a simple girl. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea ☕: the zip_error_set_from_source() function sets the zip_error pointed to by ze to the error reported by src — specifically as returned by zip_error_source(3). Like, it's giving "transfer the error energy from src to ze". ✨

⚠️ IMPORTANT bestie, do not skip this: ze must be allocated and initialized with zip_error_init(3) before calling zip_error_set_from_source(). No cap. If you skip the init, that's on you and the vibes will be cursed. 💀

Go read those, they're the supporting cast and honestly they ate. 🔥

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

zip_error_set_from_source() was added in libzip 1.10. So if your libzip is ancient, that's why it's ghosting you. 🙈
