How to make a .zip file using zlib

Question

I am reading through the document of zlib, and it is fairly detail. But I read upon this line:

The output data will be in the zlib format, which is different from the gzip or zip formats
http://www.zlib.net/zlib_how.html

It seems that zlib creates zlib format which is not the same as zip format as is discussed in this SO:

Any body know whether it is possible to create zip format with zlib? and how?

It is mentioned [in zlib's FAQ](http://www.zlib.net/zlib_faq.html#faq11). — Jongware, Nov 03 '15 at 21:02

As @Jongware mentioned, you can find an example in the contrib/minizip folder of the source code library.

OR !

You can simply use libzip.
