.Dt ARCHIVE_WRITE_FINISH_ENTRY 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm archive_write_finish_entry
.Nd functions for creating archives
.Sh LIBRARY
Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In archive.h
.Ft int
.Fn archive_write_finish_entry "struct archive *"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
Close out the entry just written.
In particular, this writes out the final padding required by some formats.
Ordinarily, clients never need to call this, as it
is called automatically by
.Fn archive_write_header
and
.Fn archive_write_close
as needed.
For
.Tn archive_write_disk
handles, this flushes pending file attribute changes like modification time.
.\" .Sh EXAMPLE
.Sh RETURN VALUES
This function returns
.Cm ARCHIVE_OK
on success, or one of several non-zero
error codes for errors.
Specific error codes include:
.Cm ARCHIVE_RETRY
for operations that might succeed if retried,
.Cm ARCHIVE_WARN
for unusual conditions that do not prevent further operations, and
.Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL
for serious errors that make remaining operations impossible.
.\"
.Sh ERRORS
Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
.Fn archive_errno
and
.Fn archive_error_string
functions.
