What are zip files?
Zip files are a popular way to compress and store multiple files in a single container. They use an algorithm to decrease the size of the data they store. They also contain information about file type, name, signature, and compression method.
C++ language doesn’t have built-in support for zip files but there are some third-party libraries that allow the programmer to perform operations on zip files. One such library is libzip which we are going to use in our program.
Prerequisites: Basic C++, libzip installed on the system.
