Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

#include
<archive.h>
int

(struct
archive *);

archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted
(struct

int
archive_write_set_format_shar
(struct

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” archives, enhanced “dump” shar archives that store a variety of file attributes and handle binary files, and POSIX-standard “ustar” archives. 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.
