ARCHIVE_WRITE_FINISH_ENTRY(3) Introduction to Library Functions
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 archive_write_disk handles,
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.
