+Edit 2021/08/21: Stefan Sperling (thanks!) noticed an error in the ‘next’ function.  After that I found that a wrong check in ‘next’ caused an invalid memory access.  The ‘next‘ and ‘ls’ functions were corrected.

 Now that we know how to navigate inside a zip file let’s see how to extract files from it.  But before looking into the decompression routines (spoiler: we’ll need zlib, so make sure it’s installed) we need to do a bit of refactoring, the reason will be clear in a second.
 
 The ‘next’ function returns a pointer to the next file record in the central directory, or NULL if none found:

-I noticed that in my test zip file, the last file entry was for an empty file name.  I don’t know if this is something usual or not, but a zero-length strings is not a valid file name here, so for the time being I’m skipping it.

 I also want to modify the main a bit:
