DESCRIPTION

     archive_write_add_filter_bzip2(), archive_write_add_filter_compress(), archive_write_add_filter_gzip(), archive_write_add_filter_lzip(),
	     archive_write_add_filter_lzma(), archive_write_add_filter_xz(),
	     The resulting archive will be compressed as specified.  Note that the compressed output is always properly blocked.

	     write callbacks.

ERRORS

     Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions.
