<h2> ZZIP Programmers Interface </h2> The complete API description.
<!--border-->
<P>
The zzip library was originally developed by Tomi Ollila as a
set of zip decoder routines. Guido Draheim did pick it up and
wrapped them under a call synopsis matching their posix
api calls. Therefore <code>zzip_open()</code> has the same
synopsis as <code>open(2)</code> but it can open zipped files.
Later the distinction was made between magic wrappers and apis
for direct access to zip archives and the files contained
in the archive.
</P>
<P>
These (three) functional apis have little helper functions
alongside including those to get the posix filehandle out of a
zzip handle and to get some attributes about the data handle
represented by a zzip handle. Plus checking for error codes
that may have been generated from internal checks.
</P>
