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 byarchive_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.
