# NAME

`zip_error` — error information

# LIBRARY

libzip (-lzip)

# SYNOPSIS

`#include <zip.h>`

zip_error_t error;

# DESCRIPTION

A `zip_error` represents information about an error. It is usually allocated directly on the stack or as member of another structure, not via a pointer.

It is initialized with zip_error_init(3) or zip_error_init_with_code(3).

The type of error can be accessed with zip_error_code_zip(3) and zip_error_code_system(3). It can be converted to a human readable string with zip_error_strerror(3).

After use, it should be cleaned up with zip_error_fini(3).
