NAME

       arcv - convert archives to new format

SYNOPSIS

       arcv file ...

DESCRIPTION

       Arcv  converts  archive	files (see ar(1), ar(5)) from 32v and Third Berkeley editions to a new portable format.  The conversion is done in
       place, and the command refuses to alter a file not in old archive format.

       Old archives are marked with a magic number of 0177545 at the start; new archives have a first line ``!<arch>''.

FILES

       /tmp/v*, temporary copy

NAME

     archive_write_set_format_cpio, archive_write_set_format_pax, archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted, archive_write_set_format_shar,
     archive_write_set_format_shar_dump, archive_write_set_format_ustar -- functions for creating archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_write_set_format_cpio(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_write_set_format_pax(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_write_set_format_shar(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_write_set_format_shar_dump(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_write_set_format_ustar(struct archive *);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions set the format that will be used for the archive.

     The library can write POSIX octet-oriented cpio format archives, POSIX-standard ``pax interchange'' format archives, traditional ``shar'' ar-
     chives, enhanced ``dump'' shar archives that store a variety of file attributes and handle binary files, and POSIX-standard ``ustar'' ar-
     chives.  The pax interchange format is a backwards-compatible tar format that adds key/value attributes to each entry and supports arbitrary
     filenames, linknames, uids, sizes, etc.  ``Restricted pax interchange format'' is the library default; this is the same as pax format, but
     suppresses the pax extended header for most normal files.	In most cases, this will result in ordinary ustar archives.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions return ARCHIVE_OK on success, or ARCHIVE_FATAL.

ERRORS

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