C library to read from zip archives

Is there a portable C library to access .zip archives? "gzip" or "zlib" (the closest I could find) only handle compressed data, I need to be able to list the files inside the archive, and access each one individually, and if they're compressed using the 'deflate' method, I can use zlib on it.

Minizip, maybe?

The zip that comes with Linux and BSD is actually called info-ZIP which is here. Personally I have not tried such a thing but the info-zip front page states "Info-ZIP's primary compression engine has also been spun off into the free zlib compression library", so you might want to check out zlib. The zlib page has a FAQ with a answer to your specific question. I would start by studying how info-zip works. Good luck.
