libzip++ -- A safe modern C++ 17 wrapper around libzip

===================================================

Info about this repo

--------------------

This repo was originally found [here](https://bitbucket.org/markand/libzip/) (404), but @markand ([BitBucket](https://bitbucket.org/markand/), [GitHub](https://github.com/markand), [Website](http://markand.fr/), [Mercurial Server](http://hg.markand.fr)) has since taken the repo down for unknown reasons. The library had a permissive license, so I have re-uploaded/mirrored the library here for historical purposes.

In August 2020, the original library was found in a more updated version on the original author's Mercurial server [here](http://hg.markand.fr/libzip/summary). I updated the code in this repo accordingly!

Introduction

------------

The libzip library is a good C library for opening and creating zip archives,

this wrapper provides safe C++ classes around this great library.

The benefits:

- Automatic allocations and destructions (RAII),

- Easy way to add files,

- Easy API,

- Easy file reading in archive,

- Read only iterator interface,

- Convenience, thanks to C++ function overloads.

Documentation (copied from `mainpage.cpp`)

-------------

### Installation

Just copy the file zippy.hpp and add it to your project.

### Overview

A simple example of the extraction of a file.

```cpp

#include 

#include "zip.hpp"

int main()

{

    try {

        libzip::archive archive("mydata.zip");

        libzip::stat_info stat = archive.stat("README");

        libzip::file file = archive.open("README");

        std::cout << "content of README:" << std::endl;

        std::cout << file.read(stat.size);

    } catch (const std::exception &ex) {

        std::cerr << ex.what() << std::endl;

    }

}

```
