But I don't know the specific names of the directories: just the base dir.

  Zip archvies don't contain a proper directory structure, just a list of files with complete path names, stored in no particular order.  For example:

dir1/subdir1/file1

dir2/file3

dir2/file2

dir1/subdir2/file1

dir1/subidr1/file2

  libzip let's you iterate over this list:

zip_int64_t num_entries = zip_get_num_entries(za, 0);

for (zip_uint64_t i = 0; i < (zip_uint64_t)num_entries; i++) {

const char *name = zip_get_name(za, i, 0);

// use name

}

  You can split name on '/' into path comonents and filter those you're interested in, or build your own directory structure.

You can only iterate over all the files in the archive.

I guess the best way to do what you want is to iterate over all files
and compare the start of the file names with the name of the directory
you're interested in.
