ZIP_STAT_INIT(3)

💅 ZIP_STAT_INIT(3) — the libzip girlies' manual, Library Functions Manual

okay bestie, welcome to the libzip section of the man pages, pull up a chair 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

zip_stat_init — bestie, it initializes a zip_stat structure. that's it, that's the whole job 👑

---

📚 LIBRARY 📚

libzip (-lzip) — yeah you gotta link it, don't forget, i'm watching 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <zip.h>

void
zip_stat_init(zip_stat_t *sb);

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so, the zip_stat_init() function initializes the members of a struct zip_stat. like, all of them. every single field. it's giving full-coverage foundation, no patches skipped 🌸

the current members are described in zip_stat(3), but listen — you should still use this function to initialize it, so you can make sure none are missed. not me trusting my memory when a function exists that does it perfectly 😭 use the function. the function ate.

the structure pointed to by sb must be allocated before calling zip_stat_init(). like, girl, you can't initialize a vibe that doesn't exist yet 💀 allocate first, init second, that's the order, periodt.

also highkey important: this function should be used by functions provided to zip_source_function(3) when returning ZIP_SOURCE_STAT information, so you can make sure all fields are initialized. if you're handing back ZIP_SOURCE_STAT without init-ing it first, that's not the move bestie, the fields will be uninitialized and the whole thing is gonna be a mess 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN VALUES ⭐

if sb is valid, the function is always successful. like, it literally cannot fail. icon behavior honestly 👑
