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_zip()
               Set the format as specified.  More details on the formats supported by libarchive can be found in
