zzip_init_io(3)

💖 zzip_init_io — bestie edition 💖

okay so we're in the zziplib function list, and today's episode is about zzip_init_io and zzip_get_default_io, aka the little glow-up crew that sets up your plugin struct. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

zzip_init_io, zzip_get_default_io — init plugin struct. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <zzip/lib.h>

int
zzip_init_io(zzip_plugin_io_handlers_t io, int flags)

zzip_plugin_io_t
zzip_get_default_io(void)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so zzip_init_io initializes the user's handler struct for you, filling it with the default values — and those defaults are the posix io functions in default configured environments. it's giving "i got you, you don't have to do it yourself." 🫶

⚠️ important bestie moment: the target io_handlers_t structure should be static, or at the very least it has to be kept around for the entire lifetime of your zzip operations. do not let it die early, it will not slay, it will be a whole tragedy. 😭

and then zzip_get_default_io returns a zzip_plugin_io_t handle to those static defaults wrapping the posix io file functions for actual file access. 🌈

🫧 heads up: the returned structure is shared by all threads in the system. yes, all of them. everybody's holding the same plushie. 🧸
