ZIP_ERROR_TO_STR(3)

💖 ZIP_ERROR_TO_STR 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Library Functions Manual — it's ZIP_ERROR_TO_STR(3), iykyk 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

zip_error_to_str — get string representation of zip error (obsolete interface, no cap, it's giving legacy 💀)

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip) 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <zip.h>

int
zip_error_to_str(char *buf, zip_uint64_t len, int ze, int se);

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so listen. the function zip_error_to_str() is deprecated — like, it's still here but it's not the moment anymore. instead, bestie, use zip_error_init_with_code(3) and zip_error_strerror(3). periodt. 👑

so like, replace THIS:

char buf[BUFSIZE];
zip_error_to_str(buf, sizeof(buf), ze, se);
printf("%s", buf);

with THIS:

zip_error_t error;
zip_error_init_with_code(&error, ze);
printf("%s", zip_error_strerror(&error));
zip_error_fini(&error);

the glow-up is real, fr fr. ✨🦋

📜 HISTORY 📜

• zip_error_to_str() was added in libzip 0.6. iconic behavior tbh.
• in libzip 0.10 the type of len was changed from size_t to zip_uint64_t — yes she evolved 💅
• it was deprecated in libzip 1.0, so use zip_error_init_with_code() and zip_error_strerror() instead. that's the assignment, bestie 📝
