NAME

     archive_read_extract, archive_read_extract2, archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback — functions for
     reading streaming archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_read_extract(struct archive *, struct archive_entry *, int flags);

     int
     archive_read_extract2(struct archive *src, struct archive_entry *, struct archive *dest);

     void
     archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback(struct archive *, void (*func)(void *), void *user_data);

DESCRIPTION

     archive_read_extract(), archive_read_extract_set_skip_file()
             A convenience function that wraps the corresponding archive_write_disk(3) interfaces.  The first
             call to archive_read_extract() creates a restore object using archive_write_disk_new(3) and
             archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup(3), then transparently invokes
             archive_write_disk_set_options(3), archive_write_header(3), archive_write_data(3), and
             archive_write_finish_entry(3) to create the entry on disk and copy data into it.  The flags
             argument is passed unmodified to archive_write_disk_set_options(3).
     archive_read_extract2()
             This is another version of archive_read_extract() that allows you to provide your own restore
             object.  In particular, this allows you to override the standard lookup functions using
             archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup(3), and archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup(3).  Note that
             archive_read_extract2() does not accept a flags argument; you should use
             archive_write_disk_set_options() to set the restore options yourself.
     archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback()
             Sets a pointer to a user-defined callback that can be used for updating progress displays during
             extraction.  The progress function will be invoked during the extraction of large regular files.
             The progress function will be invoked with the pointer provided to this call.  Generally, the data
             pointed to should include a reference to the archive object and the archive_entry object so that
             various statistics can be retrieved for the progress display.

RETURN VALUES

     Most functions return zero on success, non-zero on error.  The possible return codes include: ARCHIVE_OK
     (the operation succeeded), ARCHIVE_WARN (the operation succeeded but a non-critical error was encountered),
     ARCHIVE_EOF (end-of-archive was encountered), ARCHIVE_RETRY (the operation failed but can be retried), and
     ARCHIVE_FATAL (there was a fatal error; the archive should be closed immediately).

ERRORS

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