#include <zip.h>

zip_error_t *
zip_get_error(zip_t *archive);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the zip_get_error() function returns the zip error for the zip archive archive. that's it. that's the whole thing. it hands you back the error situation attached to that archive, as a zip_error_t *. slay, short king function 👑

ngl the vibes here are "small function, big feelings" — you point it at an archive and it tells you what went wrong with it. no cap.
