<p style="margin-top: 1em" valign="top"><b>DESCRIPTION</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:8%;">These functions provide access
to various information about the struct archive object used
in the libarchive(3) library.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_clear_error</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Clears any error information
left over from a previous call. Not generally used in client
code.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_compression</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Returns a numeric code
indicating the current compression. This value is set by
<b>archive_read_open</b>().</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_compression_name</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Returns a text description of
the current compression suitable for display.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_copy_error</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Copies error information from
one archive to another.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_errno</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Returns a numeric error code
(see errno(2)) indicating the reason for the most recent
error return.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_error_string</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Returns a textual error message
suitable for display. The error message here is usually more
specific than that obtained from passing the result of
<b>archive_errno</b>() to strerror(3).</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_file_count</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Returns a count of the number
of files processed by this archive object. The count is
incremented by calls to archive_write_header or
archive_read_next_header.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_format</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Returns a numeric code
indicating the format of the current archive entry. This
value is set by a successful call to
<b>archive_read_next_header</b>(). Note that it is common
for this value to change from entry to entry. For example, a
tar archive might have several entries that utilize GNU tar
extensions and several entries that do not. These entries
will have different format codes.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_format_name</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">A textual description of the
format of the current entry.</p>

<p valign="top"><b>archive_set_error</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:20%;">Sets the numeric error code and
error description that will be returned by
<b>archive_errno</b>() and <b>archive_error_string</b>().
This function should be used within I/O callbacks to set
system-specific error codes and error descriptions. This
function accepts a printf-like format string and arguments.
However, you should be careful to use only the following
printf format specifiers: &lsquo;&lsquo;%c&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%d&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%jd&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%jo&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%ju&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%jx&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%ld&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%lo&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%lu&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%lx&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%o&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%u&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%s&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%x&rsquo;&rsquo;,
&lsquo;&lsquo;%%&rsquo;&rsquo;. Field-width specifiers and
other printf features are not uniformly supported and should
not be used.</p>
