DESCRIPTION
Copying to and from struct stat
The function archive_entry_stat() converts the various fields stored in
the archive entry to the format used by stat(2). The return value
remains valid until either archive_entry_clear() or archive_entry_free()
is called. It is not affected by calls to the set accessor functions.
It currently sets the following values in struct stat: st_atime,
st_ctime, st_dev, st_gid, st_ino, st_mode, st_mtime, st_nlink, st_rdev,
st_size, st_uid. In addition, st_birthtime and high-precision
information for time-related fields will be included on platforms that
support it.
The function archive_entry_copy_stat() copies fields from the platform's
AE_IFLNK Symbolic link
AE_IFSOCK Socket
AE_IFCHR Character device
AE_IFBLK Block device
AE_IFDIR Directory
AE_IFIFO Named pipe (fifo)
Not all file types are supported by all platforms. The constants used by
stat(2) may have different numeric values from the corresponding
constants above.
The functions archive_entry_mode() and archive_entry_set_mode() get/set a
combination of file type and permissions and provide the equivalent of
st_mode. Use of archive_entry_filetype() and archive_entry_perm() for
getting and archive_entry_set_filetype() and archive_entry_set_perm() for
setting is recommended.
The function archive_entry_size() returns the file size, if it has been
set, and 0 otherwise. archive_entry_size() can be used to query that
status. archive_entry_set_size() and archive_entry_unset_size() set and
unset the size, respectively.
The number of references (hardlinks) can be obtained by calling
archive_entry_nlink() and set with archive_entry_set_nlink().
Identifying unique files
The functions archive_entry_dev() and archive_entry_ino64() are used by
archive_entry_linkify(3) to find hardlinks. The pair of device and inode
is supposed to identify hardlinked files.
The device major and minor number can be obtained independently using
archive_entry_devmajor() and archive_entry_devminor(). The device can be
set either via archive_entry_set_dev() or by the combination of major and
minor number using archive_entry_set_devmajor() and
archive_entry_set_devminor().
The inode number can be obtained using archive_entry_ino(). This is a
legacy interface that uses the platform ino_t, which may be very small.
To set the inode number, archive_entry_set_ino64() is the preferred
interface.
Accessor functions for block and character devices
Block and character devices are characterised either using a device
number or a pair of major and minor number. The combined device number
can be obtained with archive_device_rdev() and set with
archive_device_set_rdev(). The major and minor numbers are accessed by
archive_device_rdevmajor(), archive_device_rdevminor()
archive_device_set_rdevmajor() and archive_device_set_rdevminor().
The process of splitting the combined device number into major and minor
number and the reverse process of combing them differs between platforms.
Some archive formats use the combined form, while other formats use the
split form.
