NAME

       archive_read_next_header, archive_read_next_header2 — functions for reading streaming archives

LIBRARY

       Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <archive.h>

       int
       archive_read_next_header(struct archive *, struct archive_entry **);

       int
       archive_read_next_header2(struct archive *, struct archive_entry *);

DESCRIPTION

       archive_read_next_header()
               Read  the  header  for  the next entry and return a pointer to a struct archive_entry.  This is a
               convenience  wrapper  around  archive_read_next_header2()  that   reuses   an   internal   struct
               archive_entry object for each request.
       archive_read_next_header2()
               Read the header for the next entry and populate the provided struct archive_entry.

RETURN VALUES

       These  functions return ARCHIVE_OK (the operation succeeded), ARCHIVE_WARN (the operation succeeded but a
       non-critical error was encountered), ARCHIVE_EOF (end-of-archive  was  encountered),  ARCHIVE_RETRY  (the
       operation  failed  but can be retried), and ARCHIVE_FATAL (there was a fatal error; the archive should be
       closed immediately).

ERRORS

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