DESCRIPTION

     These functions provide a complete API for reading streaming archives.
     The general process is to first create the struct archive object, set
     options, initialize the reader, iterate over the archive headers and
     associated data, then close the archive and release all resources.  The
     following summary describes the functions in approximately the order they
     would be used:
     archive_read_new()
	     Allocates and initializes a struct archive object suitable for
	     reading from an archive.
     archive_read_set_bytes_per_block()
	     Sets the block size used for reading the archive data.  This con-
	     trols the size that will be used when invoking the read callback
	     function.	The default is 20 records or 10240 bytes for tar for-
	     mats.
     archive_read_support_compression_all(),
	     archive_read_support_compression_bzip2(),
	     archive_read_support_compression_compress(),
	     archive_read_support_compression_gzip(),
	     archive_read_support_compression_none()
	     Enables auto-detection code and decompression support for the
	     specified compression.  Note that ``none'' is always enabled by
	     default.  For convenience, archive_read_support_compression_all()
	     of standard tar formats, old-style tar, ustar, pax interchange
	     format, and many common variants.	For convenience,
	     archive_read_support_format_all() enables support for all avail-
	     able formats.  Note that there is no default.
     archive_read_open()
	     Freeze the settings, open the archive, and prepare for reading
	     entries.  This is the most generic version of this call, which
	     accepts three callback functions.	Most clients will want to use
	     archive_read_open_file() or archive_read_open_fd() instead.  The
	     library invokes the client-provided functions to obtain raw bytes
	     from the archive.	Note: The API permits a decompression method
	     to fork and invoke the callbacks from another process.  Although
	     none of the current decompression methods use this technique,
	     future decompression methods may utilize this technique.  If the
	     decompressor forks, it will ensure that the open and close call-
	     backs are invoked within the same process as the read callback.
	     In particular, clients should not attempt to use shared variables
	     to communicate between the open/read/close callbacks and the
	     mainline code.
     archive_read_open_fd()
	     Like archive_read_open(), except that it accepts a file descrip-
	     tor and block size rather than a trio of function pointers.  Note
	     that the file descriptor will not be automatically closed at end-
	     of-archive.
     archive_read_open_file()
	     Like archive_read_open(), except that it accepts a simple file-
	     name and a block size.  A NULL filename represents standard
	     input.
     archive_read_next_header()
	     Read the header for the next entry and return a pointer to a
	     struct archive_entry.
     archive_read_data()
	     Read data associated with the header just read.  Internally, this
	     is a convenience function that calls archive_read_data_block()
	     and fills any gaps with nulls so that callers see a single con-
	     tinuous stream of data.
     archive_read_data_block()
	     Return the next available block of data for this entry.  Unlike
	     archive_read_data(), the archive_read_data_block() function
	     avoids copying data and allows you to correctly handle sparse
	     files, as supported by some archive formats.  The library gauran-
	     tees that offsets will increase and that blocks will not overlap.
	     Note that the blocks returned from this function can be much
	     larger than the block size read from disk, due to compression and
	     internal buffer optimizations.
     archive_read_data_skip()
	     A convenience function that repeatedly calls
	     archive_read_data_block() to skip all of the data for this ar-
	     chive entry.
     archive_read_data_into_buffer()
	     A convenience function that repeatedly calls
	     archive_read_data_block() to copy the entire entry into the
	     client-supplied buffer.  Note that the client is responsible for
	     sizing the buffer appropriately.
     archive_read_data_into_fd()
	     A convenience function that repeatedly calls
	     archive_read_data_block() to copy the entire entry to the pro-
	     vided file descriptor.
		     The user and group IDs should be set on the restored
		     file.  By default, the user and group IDs are not
		     restored.
	     ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_PERM
		     The permissions (mode bits) should be restored for all
		     objects.  By default, permissions are only restored for
		     regular files.
	     ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_TIME
		     The timestamps (mtime, ctime, and atime) should be
		     restored.	By default, they are ignored.  Note that
		     restoring of atime is not currently supported.
	     ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_NO_OVERWRITE
		     Existing files on disk will not be overwritten.  By
		     default, existing regular files are truncated and over-
		     written; existing directories will have their permissions
		     updated; other pre-existing objects are unlinked and
		     recreated from scratch.
	     ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_UNLINK
		     Existing files on disk will be unlinked and recreated
		     from scratch.  By default, existing files are truncated
		     and rewritten, but the file is not recreated.  In partic-
		     ular, the default behavior does not break existing hard
		     links.
	     ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_ACL
		     Attempt to restore ACLs.  By default, extended ACLs are
		     ignored.
	     ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_FFLAGS
		     Attempt to restore extended file flags.  By default, file
		     flags are ignored.
	     Note that not all attributes are set immediately; some attributes
	     are cached in memory and written to disk only when the archive is
	     closed.  (For example, read-only directories are initially cre-
	     ated writable so that files within those directories can be
	     restored.	The final permissions are set when the archive is
	     closed.)
     archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback()
	     Sets a pointer to a user-defined callback that can be used for
	     updating progress displays during extraction.  The progress func-
	     tion will be invoked during the extraction of large regular
	     files.  The progress function will be invoked with the pointer
	     provided to this call.  Generally, the data pointed to should
	     include a reference to the archive object and the archive_entry
	     object so that various statistics can be retrieved for the
	     progress display.
     archive_read_close()
	     Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
     archive_read_finish()
	     Invokes archive_read_close() if it was not invoked maually, then
	     release all resources.

     Note that the library determines most of the relevant information about
     the archive by inspection.  In particular, it automatically detects
     gzip(1) or bzip2(1) compression and transparently performs the appropri-
     ate decompression.  It also automatically detects the archive format.

     A complete description of the struct archive and struct archive_entry
     objects can be found in the overview manual page for libarchive(3).


	   typedef int archive_close_callback(struct archive *, void
	   *client_data)

     The open callback is invoked by archive_open().  It should return
     ARCHIVE_OK if the underlying file or data source is successfully opened.
     If the open fails, it should call archive_set_error() to register an
     error code and message and return ARCHIVE_FATAL.

     The read callback is invoked whenever the library requires raw bytes from
     the archive.  The read callback should read data into a buffer, set the
     const void **buffer argument to point to the available data, and return a
     count of the number of bytes available.  The library will invoke the read
     callback again only after it has consumed this data.  The library imposes
     no constraints on the size of the data blocks returned.  On end-of-file,
     the read callback should return zero.  On error, the read callback should
     invoke archive_set_error() to register an error code and message and
     return -1.

     The close callback is invoked by archive_close when the archive process-
     ing is complete.  The callback should return ARCHIVE_OK on success.  On
     failure, the callback should invoke archive_set_error() to register an
     error code and message and regurn ARCHIVE_FATAL.


EXAMPLE

     The following illustrates basic usage of the library.  In this example,
     the callback functions are simply wrappers around the standard open(2),
     read(2), and close(2) system calls.

	   void
	   list_archive(const char *name)
	   {
	     struct mydata *mydata;
	     struct archive *a;
	     struct archive_entry *entry;

	     mydata = malloc(sizeof(struct mydata));
	     a = archive_read_new();
	     mydata->name = name;
	     archive_read_support_compression_all(a);
	     archive_read_support_format_all(a);
	     archive_read_open(a, mydata, myopen, myread, myclose);
	     while (archive_read_next_header(a, &entry) == ARCHIVE_OK) {
	       printf("%s\n",archive_entry_pathname(entry));
	       archive_read_data_skip(a);
	     }
	     archive_read_finish(a);
	     free(mydata);
	   }

	   ssize_t
	   myread(struct archive *a, void *client_data, const void **buff)
	   {
	     struct mydata *mydata = client_data;

	     *buff = mydata->buff;
	     return (read(mydata->fd, mydata->buff, 10240));
	   }
	   }

	   int
	   myclose(struct archive *a, void *client_data)
	   {
	     struct mydata *mydata = client_data;

	     if (mydata->fd > 0)
	       close(mydata->fd);
	     return (0);
	   }


RETURN VALUES

     Most functions return zero on success, non-zero on error.	The possible
     return codes include: ARCHIVE_OK (the operation succeeded), ARCHIVE_WARN
     (the operation succeeded but a non-critical error was encountered),
     ARCHIVE_EOF (end-of-archive was encountered), ARCHIVE_RETRY (the opera-
     tion failed but can be retried), and ARCHIVE_FATAL (there was a fatal
     error; the archive should be closed immediately).	Detailed error codes
     and textual descriptions are available from the archive_errno() and
     archive_error_string() functions.

     archive_read_new() returns a pointer to a freshly allocated struct
     archive object.  It returns NULL on error.

     archive_read_data() returns a count of bytes actually read or zero at the
     end of the entry.	On error, a value of ARCHIVE_FATAL, ARCHIVE_WARN, or
     ARCHIVE_RETRY is returned and an error code and textual description can
     be retrieved from the archive_errno() and archive_error_string() func-
     tions.

     The library expects the client callbacks to behave similarly.  If there
     is an error, you can use archive_set_error() to set an appropriate error
     code and description, then return one of the non-zero values above.
     (Note that the value eventually returned to the client may not be the
     same; many errors that are not critical at the level of basic I/O can
     prevent the archive from being properly read, thus most I/O errors even-
     tually cause ARCHIVE_FATAL to be returned.)

BUGS

     Directories are actually extracted in two distinct phases.  Directories
     are created during archive_read_extract(), but final permissions are not
     set until archive_read_close().  This separation is necessary to cor-
     rectly handle borderline cases such as a non-writable directory contain-
     ing files, but can cause unexpected results.  In particular, directory
     permissions are not fully restored until the archive is closed.  If you
     use chdir(2) to change the current directory between calls to
     archive_read_extract() or before calling archive_read_close(), you may
     confuse the permission-setting logic with the result that directory per-
