archive_util(3)        FreeBSD Library Functions Manual        archive_util(3)

NAME
     archive_compression, archive_compression_name, archive_errno,
     archive_error_string, archive_format, archive_format_name,
     archive_set_error - libarchive utility functions

SYNOPSIS
     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_compression(struct archive *);

     const char *
     archive_compression_name(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_errno(struct archive *);

     const char *
     archive_error_string(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_format(struct archive *);

     const char *
     archive_format_name(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_set_error(struct archive *, int error_code, const char *fmt,
         ...);

DESCRIPTION
     These functions provide access to various information about the struct
     archive object used in the libarchive(3) library.
     archive_compression()
             Returns a numeric code indicating the current compression.  This
             value is set by archive_read_open().
     archive_compression_name()
             Returns a text description of the current compression suitable
             for display.
     archive_errno()
             Returns a numeric error code (see errno(2)) indicating the reason
             for the most recent error return.
     archive_error_string()
             Returns a textual error message suitable for display.  The error
             message here is usually more specific than that obtained from
             passing the result of archive_errno() to strerror(3).
     archive_format()
             Returns a numeric code indicating the format of the current
             archive entry.  This value is set by a successful call to
             archive_read_next_header().  Note that it is common for this
             value to change from entry to entry.  For example, a tar archive
             might have several entries that utilize GNU tar extensions and
             several entries that do not.  These entries will have different
             format codes.
     archive_format_name()
             A textual description of the format of the current entry.
     archive_set_error()
             Sets the numeric error code and error description that will be
             returned by archive_errno() and archive_error_string().  This
             function is sometimes useful within I/O callbacks.
