DESCRIPTION

     These functions set the format that will be used for the archive.

     The library can write a variety of common archive formats.

     archive_write_set_format()
             Sets the format based on the format code (see archive.h for the full list of format
             codes).  In particular, this can be used in conjunction with archive_format() to
             create a new archive with the same format as an existing archive.

     archive_write_set_format_by_name()
             Sets the corresponding format based on the common name.

     archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext(), archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext_def()
             Sets both filters and format based on the output filename.  Supported extensions:
             .7z, .zip, .jar, .cpio, .iso, .a, .ar, .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz

             archive_write_set_format_mtree_classic() archive_write_set_format_pax()
             archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted() archive_write_set_format_raw()

             archive_write_set_format_warc() archive_write_set_format_xar()
             archive_write_set_format_zip()
             Set the format as specified.  More details on the formats supported by libarchive
             can be found in the libarchive-formats(5) manual page.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions return ARCHIVE_OK on success, or ARCHIVE_FATAL.

ERRORS

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