.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions provide an API for reading information about
|
|
objects on disk.
|
|
In particular, they provide an interface for populating
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
objects.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fn archive_read_disk_new
|
|
Allocates and initializes a
|
|
.Tn struct archive
|
|
object suitable for reading object information from disk.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_set_symlink_logical ,
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_set_symlink_physical ,
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_set_symlink_hybrid
|
|
.Xc
|
|
This sets the mode used for handling symbolic links.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq logical
|
|
mode follows all symbolic links.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq physical
|
|
mode does not follow any symbolic links.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq hybrid
|
|
mode currently behaves identically to the
|
|
.Dq logical
|
|
mode.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_gname ,
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_uname
|
|
.Xc
|
|
Returns a user or group name given a gid or uid value.
|
|
By default, these always return a NULL string.
|
|
.It Xo
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_set_gname_lookup ,
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_set_uname_lookup
|
|
.Xc
|
|
These allow you to override the functions used for
|
|
user and group name lookups.
|
|
You may also provide a
|
|
.Tn void *
|
|
pointer to a private data structure and a cleanup function for
|
|
that data.
|
|
The cleanup function will be invoked when the
|
|
.Tn struct archive
|
|
object is destroyed or when new lookup functions are registered.
|
|
.It Fn archive_read_disk_set_standard_lookup
|
|
This convenience function installs a standard set of user
|
|
and group name lookup functions.
|
|
These functions use
|
|
.Xr getpwid 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr getgrid 3
|
|
to convert ids to names, defaulting to NULL if the names cannot
|
|
be looked up.
|
|
These functions also implement a simple memory cache to reduce
|
|
the number of calls to
|
|
.Xr getpwid 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr getgrid 3 .
|
|
.It Fn archive_read_disk_entry_from_file
|
|
Populates a
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
object with information about a particular file.
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn archive_entry
|
|
object must have already been created with
|
|
.Xr archive_entry_new 3
|
|
and at least one of the source path or path fields must already be set.
|
|
(If both are set, the source path will be used.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Information is read from disk using the path name from the
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
object.
|
|
If a file descriptor is provided, some information will be obtained using
|
|
that file descriptor, on platforms that support the appropriate
|
|
system calls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a pointer to a
|
|
.Tn struct stat
|
|
is provided, information from that structure will be used instead
|
|
of reading from the disk where appropriate.
|
|
This can provide performance benefits in scenarios where
|
|
.Tn struct stat
|
|
information has already been read from the disk as a side effect
|
|
of some other operation.
|
|
(For example, directory traversal libraries often provide this information.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Where necessary, user and group ids are converted to user and group names
|
|
using the currently registered lookup functions above.
|
|
This affects the file ownership fields and ACL values in the
|
|
.Tn struct archive_entry
|
|
object.
|
|
.It Fn archive_read_close
|
|
This currently does nothing.
|
|
.It Fn archive_write_finish
|
|
Invokes
|
|
.Fn archive_write_close
|
|
if it was not invoked manually, then releases all resources.
|
|
.El
|
|
More information about the
|
|
.Va struct archive
|
|
object and the overall design of the library can be found in the
|
|
.Xr libarchive 3
|
|
overview.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLE
|
|
The following illustrates basic usage of the library by
|
|
showing how to use it to copy an item on disk into an archive.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
void
|
|
file_to_archive(struct archive *a, const char *name)
|
|
{
|
|
char buff[8192];
|
|
size_t bytes_read;
|
|
struct archive *ard;
|
|
struct archive_entry *entry;
|
|
int fd;
|
|
|
|
ard = archive_read_disk_new();
|
|
archive_read_disk_set_standard_lookup(ard);
|
|
entry = archive_entry_new();
|
|
fd = open(name, O_RDONLY);
|
|
if (fd < 0)
|
|
return;
|
|
archive_entry_copy_sourcepath(entry, name);
|
|
archive_read_disk_entry_from_file(ard, entry, fd, NULL);
|
|
archive_write_header(a, entry);
|
|
while ((bytes_read = read(fd, buff, sizeof(buff))) > 0)
|
|
archive_write_data(a, buff, bytes_read);
|
|
archive_write_finish_entry(a);
|
|
archive_read_finish(ard);
|
|
archive_entry_free(entry);
|
|
}
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Most functions return
|
|
.Cm ARCHIVE_OK
|
|
(zero) on success, or one of several negative
|
|
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.
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr archive_errno 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr archive_error_string 3
|
|
functions can be used to retrieve an appropriate error code and a
|
|
textual error message.
|
|
(See
|
|
.Xr archive_util 3
|
|
for details.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_new
|
|
returns a pointer to a newly-allocated
|
|
.Tn struct archive
|
|
object or NULL if the allocation failed for any reason.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_gname
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_uname
|
|
return
|
|
.Tn const char *
|
|
pointers to the textual name or NULL if the lookup failed for any reason.
|
|
The returned pointer points to internal storage that
|
|
may be reused on the next call to either of these functions;
|
|
callers should copy the string if they need to continue accessing it.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm libarchive
|
|
library first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 5.3 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm archive_read_disk
|
|
interface was added to
|
|
.Nm libarchive 2.6
|
|
and first appeared in
|
|
.Fx 8.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
.An -nosplit
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm libarchive
|
|
library was written by
|
|
.An Tim Kientzle Aq kientzle@freebsd.org .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq standard
|
|
user name and group name lookup functions are not the defaults because
|
|
.Xr getgrid 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr getpwid 3
|
|
are sometimes too large for particular applications.
|
|
The current design allows the application author to use a more
|
|
compact implementation when appropriate.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The full list of metadata read from disk by
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_entry_from_file
|
|
is necessarily system-dependent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn archive_read_disk_entry_from_file
|
|
function reads as much information as it can from disk.
|
|
Some method should be provided to limit this so that clients who
|
|
do not need ACLs, for instance, can avoid the extra work needed
|
|
to look up such information.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This API should provide a set of methods for walking a directory tree.
|
|
That would make it a direct parallel of the
|
|
.Xr archive_read 3
|
|
API.
|
|
When such methods are implemented, the
|
|
.Dq hybrid
|
|
symbolic link mode will make sense.
