Zig Archive Inspection Utility: File Headers, Sizes, Checksums, and Safety

A practical two-hour session on Zig Archive Inspection Utility, focused on File Headers, Sizes, Checksums, and Safety. Zig is used realistically for systems tooling, C interop, parsing, build workflows, and performance-minded components rather than pretending it is a full web platform.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Zig Archive Inspection Utility
• Apply File Headers in a small working example
• Apply Sizes in a small working example
• Apply Checksums in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
