.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions create and manipulate data objects that
represent entries within an archive.
You can think of a
.Tn struct archive_entry
as a
.Tn struct stat
on steroids:  it includes everything from
.Tn struct stat
plus associated pathname, textual group and user names, etc.
These objects are used by
.Xr libarchive 3
to represent the metadata associated with a particular
entry in an archive.
.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
.It Fn archive_entry_clear
Erases the object, resetting all internal fields to the
same state as a newly-created object.
This is provided to allow you to quickly recycle objects
without thrashing the heap.
.It Fn archive_entry_clone
A deep copy operation; all text fields are duplicated.
.It Fn archive_entry_copy_stat
Copies the contents of the provided
.Tn struct stat
into the
.Tn struct archive_entry
object.
.It Fn archive_entry_dup
A shallow copy; text fields are not duplicated.
.It Fn archive_entry_free
Releases the
.Tn struct archive_entry
object.
.It Fn archive_entry_gname
Returns a pointer to the textual group name.
.It Fn archive_entry_hardlink
If this function returns non-NULL, then this object represents
a hardlink to another filesystem object.
The contents contain the pathname of the object.
.It Fn archive_entry_new
Allocate and return a blank
.Tn struct archive_entry
object.
.It Fn archive_entry_pathname
Returns a pointer to the pathname.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_devmajor
Sets the device major number (only valid for objects representing
block and character devices).
.It Fn archive_entry_set_devminor
Sets the device minor number (only valid for objects representing
block and character devices).
.It Fn archive_entry_set_gid
Sets the group ID for the object.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_gname
Sets a pointer to the textual group name.
Note that the name itself is not copied.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_hardlink
Sets the hardlink property; see
.Fn archive_entry_hardlink
above.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_mode
Sets the file mode.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_pathname
Sets a pointer to the pathname.
Note that the pathname text is not copied.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_symlink
Sets a pointer to the contents of a symbolic link.
Note that the pathname text is not copied.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_tartype
Sets the value to be used in a tar-format header
for this entry.
Client code should generally not set this; if it
is left unset, the library will automatically determine
an appropriate value.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_uid
Set the user ID for the object.
.It Fn archive_entry_set_uname
Sets a pointer to the textual user name.
Note that the name itself is not copied.
.It Fn archive_entry_size
Returns the size of the object on disk in bytes.
.It Fn archive_entry_stat
Returns a pointer to a populated
.Tn struct stat .
.It Fn archive_entry_symlink
Returns a pointer to the symlink contents.
.It Fn archive_entry_tartype
Returns the value used in a tar-format header.
Not generally useful to clients.
.It Fn archive_entry_uname
Returns a pointer to the textual user name.
