DESCRIPTION
- archive_read_next_header()
- Read the header for the next entry and return a pointer to
a struct archive_entry. This is a convenience wrapper around
archive_read_next_header2() that reuses an internal
struct archive_entry object for each request.
- archive_read_next_header2()
- Read the header for the next entry and populate the
provided struct archive_entry.
RETURN VALUES
These functions return
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 operation 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.
