.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In archive_entry.h
|
|
.Ft "struct archive_entry *"
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_clear "struct archive_entry *"
|
|
.Ft struct archive_entry *
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions create and manipulate data objects that
|
|
represent entries within an archive.
|
|
You can think of a
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
as a heavy-duty version of
|
|
.Tn struct stat :
|
|
it includes everything from
|
|
.Tn struct stat
|
|
plus associated pathname, textual group and user names, etc.
|
|
These objects are used by
|
|
.Xr libarchive 3
|
|
to represent the metadata associated with a particular
|
|
entry in an archive.
|
|
.Ss Create and Destroy
|
|
There are functions to allocate, destroy, clear, and copy
|
|
.Va archive_entry
|
|
objects:
|
|
.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_clear
|
|
Erases the object, resetting all internal fields to the
|
|
same state as a newly-created object.
|
|
This is provided to allow you to quickly recycle objects
|
|
without thrashing the heap.
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_clone
|
|
A deep copy operation; all text fields are duplicated.
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_free
|
|
Releases the
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
object.
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_new
|
|
Allocate and return a blank
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
object.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Function groups
|
|
Due to high number of functions, the accessor functions can be found in
|
|
man pages grouped by the purpose.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Xr archive_entry_perms 3"
|
|
.It Xr archive_entry_acl 3
|
|
Access Control List manipulation
|
|
.It Xr archive_entry_paths 3
|
|
Path name manipulation
|
|
.It Xr archive_entry_perms 3
|
|
User, group and mode manipulation
|
|
.It Xr archive_entry_stat 3
|
|
Functions not in the other groups and copying to/from
|
|
.Vt struct stat .
|
|
.It Xr archive_entry_time 3
|
|
Time field manipulation
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most of the functions set or read entries in an object.
|
|
Such functions have one of the following forms:
|
|
.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_set_XXXX
|
|
Stores the provided data in the object.
|
|
In particular, for strings, the pointer is stored,
|
|
not the referenced string.
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_copy_XXXX
|
|
As above, except that the referenced data is copied
|
|
into the object.
|
|
.It Fn archive_entry_XXXX
|
|
Returns the specified data.
|
|
In the case of strings, a const-qualified pointer to
|
|
the string is returned.
|
|
.El
|
|
String data can be set or accessed as wide character strings
|
|
or normal
|
|
.Va char
|
|
strings.
|
|
The functions that use wide character strings are suffixed with
|
|
.Cm _w .
|
|
Note that these are different representations of the same data:
|
|
For example, if you store a narrow string and read the corresponding
|
|
wide string, the object will transparently convert formats
|
|
using the current locale.
|
|
Similarly, if you store a wide string and then store a
|
|
narrow string for the same data, the previously-set wide string will
|
|
be discarded in favor of the new data.
