ARCHIVE_WRITE_FINISH... NetBSD Library Functions ManualARCHIVE_WRITE_FINISH...


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 condi-
     tions that do not prevent further operations, and ARCHIVE_FATAL for seri-
     ous errors that make remaining operations impossible.


ERRORS

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