archive_write_finish_entry (3archive)

Name

archive_write_finish_entry - functions for creating archives

Synopsis

#include <archive.h>
int
archive_write_finish_entry(struct archive *);

Description

                                          ARCHIVE_WRITE_FINISH_ENTRY(3archive)



NAME
       archive_write_finish_entry - functions for creating archives

LIBRARY
       Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <archive.h>
       int
       archive_write_finish_entry(struct archive *);

DESCRIPTION
       Close out the entry just written.  In particular, this writes out the
       final padding required by some formats.  Ordinarily, clients never need
       to call this, as it is called automatically by archive_write_header()
       and archive_write_close() as needed.  For Tn archive_write_disk han-
       dles, this flushes pending file attribute changes like modification
       time.

RETURN VALUES
       This function returns ARCHIVE_OK on success, or one of several non-zero
       error codes for errors.  Specific error codes include: 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 operations impossible.

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