The zip archive specified by the open file descriptor <var class="Ar">fd</var>
is opened and a pointer to a <var class="Ft">struct zip</var>, used to
manipulate the archive, is returned. In contrast to
<a class="Xr" href="zip_open.html">zip_open(3)</a>, using
<code class="Nm">zip_fdopen</code> the archive can only be opened in read-only
mode. The <var class="Ar">fd</var> argument may not be used any longer after
calling <code class="Nm">zip_fdopen</code>. The <var class="Fa">flags</var>
are specified by <i class="Em">or</i><span class="No">'ing</span> the
following values, or 0 for none of them.
<div class="Bd-indent">
<dl class="Bl-tag">

if they fail.</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p class="Pp">If an error occurs and <var class="Ar">errorp</var> is

Upon successful completion <code class="Fn">zip_fdopen</code>() returns a
<var class="Ft">struct zip</var> pointer, and <var class="Ar">fd</var> should
not be used any longer, nor passed to
<a class="Xr" href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/close.html">close(2)</a>. Otherwise,
<code class="Dv">NULL</code> is returned and <var class="Ar">*errorp</var> is
set to indicate the error. In the error case, <var class="Ar">fd</var> remains
unchanged.
