NAME

     archive_read_close, archive_read_finish, archive_read_free — functions for reading streaming
     archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_read_close(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_read_finish(struct archive *);

     int
     archive_read_free(struct archive *);

DESCRIPTION

     archive_read_close()
             Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
     archive_read_finish()
             This is a deprecated synonym for archive_read_free().  The new name was introduced
             with libarchive 3.0.  Applications that need to compile with either libarchive 2 or
             libarchive 3 should continue to use the archive_read_finish() name.  Both names will
             be supported until libarchive 4.0 is released, which is not expected to occur
             earlier than 2013.
     archive_read_free()
             Invokes archive_read_close() if it was not invoked manually, then release all
             resources.  Note: In libarchive 1.x, this function was declared to return void,
             which made it impossible to detect certain errors when archive_read_close() was
             invoked implicitly from this function.  The declaration is corrected beginning with
             libarchive 2.0.

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.
