            archive_write_set_passphrase()
                   Set a passphrase for writing an encrypted archive.  If
                   passphrase is NULL or empty, this function will do nothing
                   and ARCHIVE_FAILED will be returned.  Otherwise, ARCHIVE_OK
                   will be returned.

            archive_write_set_passphrase_callback()
                   Register a callback function that will be invoked to get a
                   passphrase for encryption if the passphrase was not set by
                   the archive_write_set_passphrase() function.
