NAME

     archive_write_finish_entry — functions for creating archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_write_finish_entry(struct archive *);

DESCRIPTION

     Close out the entry just written.  In particular, this writes out the final padding required by some
     formats.  Ordinarily, clients never need to call this, as it is called automatically by
     archive_write_header() and archive_write_close() as needed.  For archive_write_disk handles, this flushes
     pending file attribute changes like modification time.

RETURN VALUES

     This function returns ARCHIVE_OK on success, or one of several non-zero error codes for errors.  Specific
     error codes include: ARCHIVE_RETRY for operations that might succeed if retried, ARCHIVE_WARN for unusual
     conditions that do not prevent further operations, and ARCHIVE_FATAL for serious errors that make remaining
     operations impossible.

ERRORS

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