NAME

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_write_header(struct archive *, struct archive_entry *);

DESCRIPTION

     Build and write a header using the data in the provided struct archive_entry structure.  See archive_entry(3) for information on creating and
     populating struct archive_entry objects.

RETURN VALUES

     This function returns ARCHIVE_OK on success, or one of the following on error: ARCHIVE_RETRY for operations that might succeed if retried,
     ARCHIVE_WARN for unusual conditions that do not prevent further operations, and ARCHIVE_FATAL for serious errors that make remaining opera-
     tions impossible.

ARCHIVE_READ_HEADER(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				    ARCHIVE_READ_HEADER(3)

NAME

     archive_read_next_header, archive_read_next_header2 -- functions for reading streaming archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_read_next_header(struct archive *, struct archive_entry **);

     int
     archive_read_next_header2(struct archive *, struct archive_entry *);

DESCRIPTION

     archive_read_next_header()
	     Read the header for the next entry and return a pointer to a struct archive_entry.  This is a convenience wrapper around
	     archive_read_next_header2() that reuses an internal struct archive_entry object for each request.
     archive_read_next_header2()
	     Read the header for the next entry and populate the provided struct archive_entry.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions return ARCHIVE_OK (the operation succeeded), ARCHIVE_WARN (the operation succeeded but a non-critical error was encountered),
     ARCHIVE_EOF (end-of-archive was encountered), ARCHIVE_RETRY (the operation failed but can be retried), and ARCHIVE_FATAL (there was a fatal
     error; the archive should be closed immediately).

ERRORS

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