DESCRIPTION

   Copying to and from struct stat
     The function archive_entry_stat() converts the various fields stored in the archive entry to
     the format used by stat(2).  The return value remains valid until either
     archive_entry_clear() or archive_entry_free() is called.  It is not affected by calls to the
     set accessor functions.  It currently sets the following values in struct stat: st_atime,
     st_ctime, st_dev, st_gid, st_ino, st_mode, st_mtime, st_nlink, st_rdev, st_size, st_uid.  In
     addition, st_birthtime and high-precision information for time-related fields will be
     included on platforms that support it.

     The function archive_entry_copy_stat() copies fields from the platform's struct stat.
     Fields not provided by struct stat are unchanged.

   General accessor functions
     The functions archive_entry_filetype() and archive_entry_set_filetype() get respectively set
     the filetype.  The file type is one of the following constants:
           AE_IFREG   Regular file
           AE_IFLNK   Symbolic link
           AE_IFSOCK  Socket
           AE_IFCHR   Character device
           AE_IFBLK   Block device
           AE_IFDIR   Directory
           AE_IFIFO   Named pipe (fifo)
     Not all file types are supported by all platforms.  The constants used by stat(2) may have
     different numeric values from the corresponding constants above.

     The functions archive_entry_mode() and archive_entry_set_mode() get/set a combination of
     file type and permissions and provide the equivalent of st_mode.  Use of
     archive_entry_filetype() and archive_entry_perm() for getting and
     archive_entry_set_filetype() and archive_entry_set_perm() for setting is recommended.

     The function archive_entry_size() returns the file size, if it has been set, and 0
     otherwise.  archive_entry_size() can be used to query that status.  archive_entry_set_size()
     and archive_entry_unset_size() set and unset the size, respectively.

     The number of references (hardlinks) can be obtained by calling archive_entry_nlinks() and
     set with archive_entry_set_nlinks().

   Identifying unique files
     The functions archive_entry_dev() and archive_entry_ino64() are used by
     archive_entry_linkify(3) to find hardlinks.  The pair of device and inode is suppossed to
     identify hardlinked files.

     The device major and minor number can be obtained independently using
     archive_entry_devmajor() and archive_entry_devminor().  The device can be set either via
     archive_entry_set_dev() or by the combination of major and minor number using
     archive_entry_set_devmajor() and archive_entry_set_devminor().

     The inode number can be obtained using archive_entry_ino().  This is a legacy interface that
     uses the platform ino_t, which may be very small.  To set the inode number,
     archive_entry_set_ino64() is the preferred interface.

   Accessor functions for block and character devices
     Block and character devices are characterised either using a device number or a pair of
     major and minor number.  The combined device number can be obtained with
     archive_device_rdev() and set with archive_device_set_rdev().  The major and minor numbers
     are accessed by archive_device_rdevmajor(), archive_device_rdevminor()
     archive_device_set_rdevmajor() and archive_device_set_rdevminor().

     The process of splitting the combined device number into major and minor number and the
     reverse process of combing them differs between platforms.  Some archive formats use the
     combined form, while other formats use the split form.
