 .El
+.It Fn 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 function 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.
 .It Fn archive_read_finish
 Complete the archive, invoke the close callback, and release
 all resources.
