zip and unzip file c++ [closed]

Question

I want to write code that zips a folder to a .zip file, or unzips a .zip file into a folder. I believe I need some library that supports it, am I right? If so, is there a specific library I should use? I want to write the code in C++ on a Linux machine (Ubuntu). Thanks for the help.

If you want a higher-level way of doing this, you can call the zip and unzip commands directly from C++ using system() (or other process-starting mechanism). These utilities are available by default in Ubuntu.
