NAME

       archive_write_finish_entry — functions for creating archives

LIBRARY

       Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <archive.h>

       int
       archive_write_finish_entry(struct archive *);

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
       archive_write_header() and archive_write_close() as needed.  For archive_write_disk handles, this flushes
       pending file attribute changes like modification time.

RETURN VALUES

       This function returns ARCHIVE_OK on success, or one of several non-zero error codes for errors.  Specific
       error codes include: ARCHIVE_RETRY for operations that might succeed if retried, ARCHIVE_WARN for unusual
       conditions  that  do  not  prevent  further  operations,  and  ARCHIVE_FATAL for serious errors that make
       remaining operations impossible.

ERRORS

       Detailed  error  codes  and  textual  descriptions   are   available   from   the   archive_errno()   and
       archive_error_string() functions.
