39.Fn zopen "const char *path" "const char *mode" "int bits"
40.Sh DESCRIPTION
41The
42.Fn zopen
43function
44opens the compressed file whose name is the string pointed to by
45.Fa path
46and associates a stream with it.

49.Fa mode
50points to one of the following one-character strings:
51.Bl -tag -width indent
52.It Dq Li r
53Open compressed file for reading.
54The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
55.It Dq Li w
56Truncate file to zero length or create compressed file for writing.
57The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
58.El
59.Pp
60Any created files will have mode
61.Pf \\*q Dv S_IRUSR
62\&|
