archive_read_support_format_7zip(), archive_read_support_format_ar(), archive_read_support_format_cab(), archive_read_support_format_cpio(), archive_read_support_format_iso9660(), archive_read_support_format_lha(), archive_read_support_format_mtree(), archive_read_support_format_rar(), archive_read_support_format_raw(), archive_read_support_format_tar(), archive_read_support_format_xar(), archive_read_support_format_zip() Enables support---including auto-detection code---for the specified archive format. For example, archive_read_support_format_tar() enables support for a variety of standard tar formats, old-style tar, ustar, pax interchange format, and many common variants. | |
archive_read_support_format_all() | Enables support for all available formats except the "raw" format (see below). |
archive_read_support_format_by_code() | Enables a single format specified by the format code. This can be useful when reading a single archive twice; use archive_format() after reading the first time and pass the resulting code to this function to selectively enable only the necessary format support. Note: In statically-linked executables, this will cause your program to include support for every format. If executable size is a concern, you may wish to avoid using this function. |
archive_read_support_format_empty() | Enables support for treating empty files as empty archives. Because empty files are valid for several different formats, it is not possible to accurately determine a format for an empty file based purely on contents. So empty files are treated by libarchive as a distinct format. |
archive_read_support_format_raw() | The "raw" format handler allows libarchive to be used to read arbitrary data. It treats any data stream as an archive with a single entry. The pathname of this entry is "data"; all other entry fields are unset. This is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all() in order to avoid erroneous handling of damaged archives. |
Using the "raw" handler together with any other handler will often work but can produce surprising results.
