DESCRIPTION

These functions set the format that will be used for the archive.

The library can write a variety of common archive formats.

archive_write_set_format(): Sets the format based on the format code (see archive.h for the full list of format codes). In particular, this can be used in conjunction with archive_format() to create a new archive with the same format as an existing archive.
archive_write_set_format_by_name(): Sets the corresponding format based on the common name.
archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext(), archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext_def(): Sets both filters and format based on the output filename. Supported extensions: .7z, .zip, .jar, .cpio, .iso, .a, .ar, .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz
