<p class="Pp">The

function opens the encrypted file name <var class="Ar">fname</var> in
<var class="Ar">archive</var> using the password given in the
<var class="Ar">password</var> argument. If <var class="Ar">password</var>
is <code class="Dv">NULL</code> or the empty string, the default password is
used (see
<a class="Xr" href="zip_set_default_password.html">zip_set_default_password(3)</a>).

them if you want to specify a non-default password (see

<p class="Pp">The zip file format provides very limited possibility for password
verification (a short hash of is compared against one byte in the zip
archive). For this reason, reading a file while using an incorrect password
may immediately fail with <code class="Er">ZIP_ER_WRONGPASSWD</code>, but if
the mismatch is not detected, a zlib error may be returned later instead.
Since zlib errors can also be caused by broken compressed data, there is no
way to make sure if the password was incorrect or if it was correct, but the
compressed data was invalid.</p>
