<p>LIBARCHIVE_CHANGES(3) BSD Library Functions Manual
LIBARCHIVE_CHANGES(3)</p>

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

<p style="margin-left:6%;"><b>libarchive_changes</b>
&mdash; changes in libarchive interface</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>CHANGES IN LIBARCHIVE
3</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:6%;">This page describes user-visible
changes in libarchive3, and lists public functions and other
symbols changed, deprecated or removed in libarchive3, along
with their replacements if any.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Multiple
Filters</b> <br>
Libarchive2 permitted a single (input or output) filter
active on an archive. Libarchive3 extends this into a
variable-length stack. Where
<b>archive_write_set_compression_XXX</b>() would replace any
existing filter, <b>archive_write_add_filter_XXX</b>()
extends the write pipeline with another filter.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Character Set
Handling</b> <br>
Libarchive2 assumed that the local platform uses Unicode as
the native wchar_t encoding, which is true on Windows,
modern Linux, and a few other systems, but is certainly not
universal. As a result, pax format archives were written
incorrectly on some systems, since pax format requires UTF-8
and libarchive 2 incorrectly assumed that wchar_t strings
can be easily converted to UTF-8.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em">Libarchive3 uses
the standard iconv library to convert between character sets
and is introducing the notion of a &rsquo;&rsquo;default
character set for the archive&rsquo;&rsquo;. To support
this, archive_entry objects can now be bound to a particular
archive when they are created. The automatic character set
conversions performed by archive_entry objects when reading
and writing filenames, usernames, and other strings will now
use an appropriate default character set:</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em">If the
archive_entry object is bound to an archive, it will use the
default character set for that archive.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em">The platform
default character encoding (as returned by
<b>nl_langinfo</b>(<i>CHARSET</i>)) will be used if nothing
else is specified.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em">Libarchive3 also
introduces charset options to many of the archive readers
and writers to control the character set that will be used
for filenames written in those archives. When possible, this
will be set automatically based on information in the
archive itself. Combining this with the notion of a default
character set for the archive should allow you to configure
libarchive to read archives from other platforms and have
the filenames and other information transparently converted
to the character encoding suitable for your application.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Prototype
Changes</b> <br>
These changes break binary compatibility; libarchive3 has a
new shared library version to reflect these changes. The
library now uses portable wide types such as int64_t instead
of less-portable types such as off_t, gid_t, uid_t, and
ino_t.</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em">There are a few
cases where these changes will affect your source code:</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>&bull;</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:13%;">In some cases,
libarchive&rsquo;s wider types will introduce the
possibility of truncation: for example, on a system with a
16-bit uid_t, you risk having uid 65536 be truncated to uid
0, which can cause serious security problems.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>&bull;</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:13%;">Typedef function pointer types
will be incompatible. For example, if you define custom skip
callbacks, you may have to use code similar to the following
if you want to support building against libarchive2 and
libarchive3:</p>

<p style="margin-left:13%; margin-top: 1em">#if
ARCHIVE_VERSION_NUMBER &lt; 3000000 <br>
typedef off_t myoff_t; <br>
#else <br>
typedef int64_t myoff_t; <br>
#endif</p>

<p style="margin-left:13%; margin-top: 1em">myoff_t <br>
my_skip_function(struct archive *a, void *v, myoff_t o) <br>
{ <br>
... implementation ... <br>
}</p>

<p style="margin-left:6%; margin-top: 1em">Affected
functions:</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>&bull; <br>

equivalent.</p>
