The <code class="Fn">zip_file_get_comment</code>() function returns the comment
for the file at position <var class="Ar">index</var> in the zip archive. The
name is in UTF-8 encoding unless <code class="Dv">ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW</code> was
specified (see below). This pointer should not be modified or
<a class="Xr" href="http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/free.html">free(3)</a>'d, and becomes invalid when
<var class="Ar">archive</var> is closed. If <var class="Ar">lenp</var> is not
<code class="Dv">NULL</code>, the integer to which it points will be set to
the length of the comment. If <var class="Ar">flags</var> is set to
<code class="Dv">ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED</code>, the original unchanged comment is
returned.
<p class="Pp">Additionally, the following <var class="Ar">flags</var> are
supported:</p>
<div class="Bd-indent">
<dl class="Bl-tag">
<dt><a class="permalink" href="#ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW"><code class="Dv" id="ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW">ZIP_FL_ENC_RAW</code></a></dt>
<dd>Return the unmodified comment as it is in the ZIP archive.</dd>
<dt><a class="permalink" href="#ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS"><code class="Dv" id="ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS">ZIP_FL_ENC_GUESS</code></a></dt>
<dd>(Default.) Guess the encoding of the comment in the ZIP archive and
convert it to UTF-8, if necessary.</dd>
<dt><a class="permalink" href="#ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT"><code class="Dv" id="ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT">ZIP_FL_ENC_STRICT</code></a></dt>
<dd>Follow the ZIP specification for file names and extend it to file
comments, expecting them to be encoded in CP-437 in the ZIP archive
(except if it is a UTF-8 comment from the special extra field). Convert it
to UTF-8.</dd>

Upon successful completion, a pointer to the comment is returned, or
<code class="Dv">NULL</code> if there is no comment. In case of an error,
<code class="Dv">NULL</code> is returned and the error code in
<var class="Ar">archive</var> is set to indicate the error.
