.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Programs that want to create archives have to deal with hardlinks.
|
|
Hardlinks are handled in different ways by the archive formats.
|
|
The basic strategies are:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Ignore hardlinks and store the body for each reference (old cpio, zip).
|
|
.It
|
|
Store the body the first time an inode is seen (ustar, pax).
|
|
.It
|
|
Store the body the last time an inode is seen (new cpio).
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions help by providing a unified interface and handling the complexity
|
|
behind the scene.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
functions assume that
|
|
.Vt archive_entry
|
|
instances have valid nlinks, inode and device values.
|
|
The inode and device value is used to match entries.
|
|
The nlinks value is used to determined if all references have been found and
|
|
if the internal references can be recycled.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkresolver_new
|
|
function allocates a new link resolver.
|
|
The instance can be freed using
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkresolver_free .
|
|
All deferred entries are flushed and the internal storage is freed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkresolver_set_strategy
|
|
function selects the optimal hardlink strategy for the given format.
|
|
The format code can be obtained from
|
|
.Xr archive_format 3 .
|
|
The function can be called more than once, but it is recommended to
|
|
flush all deferred entries first.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkify
|
|
function is the core of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn entry
|
|
argument points to the
|
|
.Vt archive_entry
|
|
that should be written.
|
|
Depending on the strategy one of the following actions is taken:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
For the simple archive formats
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is left unmodified and
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.It
|
|
For tar like archive formats,
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
If
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
no action is taken.
|
|
If the hardlink count of
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is larger than 1 and the file type is a regular file or symbolic link,
|
|
the internal list is searched for a matching inode.
|
|
If such an inode is found, the link count is decremented and the file size
|
|
of
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is set to 0 to notify that no body should be written.
|
|
If no such inode is found, a copy of the entry is added to the internal cache
|
|
with a link count reduced by one.
|
|
.It
|
|
For new cpio like archive formats a value for
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
of
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is used to flush deferred entries.
|
|
In that case
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is set to an arbitrary deferred entry and the entry itself is removed from the
|
|
internal list.
|
|
If the internal list is empty,
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
In either case,
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and the function returns.
|
|
If the hardlink count of
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is one or the file type is a directory or device,
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and no further action is taken.
|
|
Otherwise, the internal list is searched for a matching inode.
|
|
If such an inode is not found, the entry is added to the internal list,
|
|
both
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
and
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
are set to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and the function returns.
|
|
If such an inode is found, the link count is decremented.
|
|
If it remains larger than one, the existing entry on the internal list
|
|
is swapped with
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
after retaining the link count.
|
|
The existing entry is returned in
|
|
.Va *entry .
|
|
If the link count reached one, the new entry is also removed from the
|
|
internal list and returned in
|
|
.Va *sparse .
|
|
Otherwise
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The general usage is therefore:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
For each new archive entry, call
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkify .
|
|
.It
|
|
Keep in mind that the entries returned may have a size of 0 now.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
archive it.
|
|
.It
|
|
If
|
|
.Va *sparse
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
archive it.
|
|
.It
|
|
After all entries have been written to disk, call
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkify
|
|
with
|
|
.Va *entry
|
|
set to
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and archive the returned entry as long as it is not
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn archive_entry_linkresolver_new
|
|
returns
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
on
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
failures.
