|
.Sh NAME
|
|
|
|
.Nm archive_write_data
|
|
|
|
.Nd functions for creating archives
|
|
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
|
|
Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
|
|
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.In archive.h
|
|
|
|
.Ft la_ssize_t
|
|
|
|
.Fn archive_write_data "struct archive *" "const void *" "size_t"
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Write data corresponding to the header just written.
|
|
|
|
.\" .Sh EXAMPLE
|
|
|
|
.\"
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
This function returns the number of bytes actually written, or
|
|
|
|
a negative error code on error.
|
|
|
|
.\"
|
|
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
|
|
Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
|
|
|
|
.Fn archive_errno
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Fn archive_error_string
|
|
|
|
functions.
|
|
|
|
.\"
|
|
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
|
|
In libarchive 3.x, this function sometimes returns
|
|
|
|
zero on success instead of returning the number of bytes written.
|
|
|
|
Specifically, this occurs when writing to an
|
|
|
|
.Vt archive_write_disk
|
|
|
|
handle.
|
|
|
|
Clients should treat any value less than zero as an error
|
|
|
|
and consider any non-negative value as success.
