+ARCHIVE_READ_EXTRACT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual ARCHIVE_READ_EXTRACT(3)
+
+NAME
+ archive_read_extract, archive_read_extract2,
+ archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback — functions for reading
+ streaming archives
+
+LIBRARY
+ Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ #include <archive.h>
+
+ int
+ archive_read_extract(struct archive *, struct archive_entry *,
+ int flags);
+
+ int
+ archive_read_extract2(struct archive *src, struct archive_entry *,
+ struct archive *dest);
+
+ void
+ archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback(struct archive *,
+ void (*func)(void *), void *user_data);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ archive_read_extract(), archive_read_extract_set_skip_file()
+ A convenience function that wraps the corresponding
+ archive_write_disk(3) interfaces. The first call to
+ archive_read_extract() creates a restore object using
+ archive_write_disk_new(3) and
+ archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup(3), then transparently
+ invokes archive_write_disk_set_options(3),
+ archive_write_header(3), archive_write_data(3), and
+ archive_write_finish_entry(3) to create the entry on disk and
+ copy data into it. The flags argument is passed unmodified to
+ archive_write_disk_set_options(3).
+ archive_read_extract2()
+ This is another version of archive_read_extract() that allows you
+ to provide your own restore object. In particular, this allows
+ you to override the standard lookup functions using
+ archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup(3), and
+ archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup(3). Note that
+ archive_read_extract2() does not accept a flags argument; you
+ should use archive_write_disk_set_options() to set the restore
+ options yourself.
+ 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.
+
+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).
+
+ERRORS
+ Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
+ archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions.
