NAME
archive_write_finish_entry
- functions for creating archives
LIBRARY
Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
SYNOPSIS
In archive.h
Ft int
Fn 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
Fn archive_write_header
and
Fn 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
Fn archive_errno
and
Fn archive_error_string
functions.
