the archive, and error if they fail.
ZIP_CREATE Create the archive if it does not exist.
ZIP_EXCL Error if archive already exists.

empty archive.
If an error occurs and errorp is non-NULL, it will be set to the corre‐
sponding error code.

struct zip pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and *errorp is set to
indicate the error.
