     archive_write_set_options — functions controlling options for reading archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     int
     archive_write_set_filter_option(struct archive *, const char *module, const char *option,
         const char *value);

     int
     archive_write_set_format_option(struct archive *, const char *module, const char *option,
         const char *value);

     int
     archive_write_set_option(struct archive *, const char *module, const char *option,
         const char *value);

     int
     archive_write_set_options(struct archive *, const char *options);

DESCRIPTION

     These functions provide a way for libarchive clients to configure specific write modules.

     archive_write_set_filter_option(), archive_write_set_format_option()
             Specifies an option that will be passed to currently-registered filters (including
             decompression filters) or format readers.

             If option and value are both NULL, these functions will do nothing and ARCHIVE_OK
             will be returned.  If option is NULL but value is not, these functions will do
             nothing and ARCHIVE_FAILED will be returned.

             If module is not NULL, option and value will be provided to the filter or reader
             named module.  The return value will be that of the module.  If there is no such
             module, ARCHIVE_FAILED will be returned.

             If module is NULL, option and value will be provided to every registered module.  If
             any module returns ARCHIVE_FATAL, this value will be returned immediately.
             Otherwise, ARCHIVE_OK will be returned if any module accepts the option, and
             ARCHIVE_FAILED in all other cases.

     archive_write_set_option()
             Calls archive_write_set_format_option(), then archive_write_set_filter_option().  If
             either function returns ARCHIVE_FATAL, ARCHIVE_FATAL will be returned immediately.
             Otherwise, greater of the two values will be returned.

     archive_write_set_options()
             options is a comma-separated list of options.  If options is NULL or empty,
             ARCHIVE_OK will be returned immediately.

             Individual options have one of the following forms:
             option=value
                     The option/value pair will be provided to every module.  Modules that do not
                     accept an option with this name will ignore it.
             option  The option will be provided to every module with a value of “1”.
             !option
                     The option will be provided to every module with a NULL value.
             module:option=value, module:option, module:!option
                     As above, but the corresponding option and value will be provided only to
                     modules whose name matches module.

OPTIONS

     Filter gzip
             compression-level
                     The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specifying the gzip
                     compression level.
     Filter xz
             compression-level
                     The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specifying the compression
                     level.
     Format mtree
             cksum, device, flags, gid, gname, indent, link, md5, mode, nlink, rmd160, sha1,

                     Enable a particular keyword in the mtree output.  Prefix with an exclamation
                     mark to disable the corresponding keyword.  The default is equivalent to
                     “device, flags, gid, gname, link, mode, nlink, size, time, type, uid,
                     uname”.

                     Enables generation of /set lines that specify default values for the
                     following files and/or directories.
             indent  XXX needs explanation XXX
     Format iso9660 - volume metadata
             These options are used to set standard ISO9660 metadata.
             abstract-file=filename
                     The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata
                     as holding the abstract for this volume.  Default: none.
             application-id=filename
                     The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata
                     as holding the application identifier for this volume.  Default: none.
             biblio-file=filename
                     The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata
                     as holding the bibliography for this volume.  Default: none.
             copyright-file=filename
                     The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata
                     as holding the copyright for this volume.  Default: none.
             publisher=filename
                     The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata
                     as holding the publisher information for this volume.  Default: none.
             volume-id=string
                     The specified string will be used as the Volume Identifier in the ISO9660
                     metadata.  It is limited to 32 bytes. Default: none.
     Format iso9660 - boot support
             These options are used to make an ISO9660 image that can be directly booted on
             various systems.
             boot=filename
                     The file matching this name will be used as the El Torito boot image file.
             boot-catalog=name
                     The name that will be used for the El Torito boot catalog.  Default:
                     boot.catalog
             boot-info-table
                     The boot image file provided by the boot=filename option will be edited with
                     appropriate boot information in bytes 8 through 64.  Default: disabled
             boot-load-seg=hexadecimal-number
                     The load segment for a no-emulation boot image.
             boot-load-size=decimal-number
                     The number of "virtual" 512-byte sectors to be loaded from a no-emulation
                     boot image.  Some very old BIOSes can only load very small images, setting
                     this value to 4 will often allow such BIOSes to load the first part of the
                     boot image (which will then need to be intelligent enough to load the rest
                     of itself).  This should not be needed unless you are trying to support
                     systems with very old BIOSes.  This defaults to the full size of the image.
             boot-type=value
                     Specifies the boot semantics used by the El Torito boot image: If the value
                     is fd, then the boot image is assumed to be a bootable floppy image.  If the
                     value is hd, then the the boot image is assumed to be a bootable hard disk
                     image.  If the value is no-emulation, the boot image is used without floppy
                     or hard disk emulation.  If the boot image is exactly 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or
                     2.88MB, then the default is fd, otherwise the default is no-emulation.
     Format iso9660 - filename and size extensions
             Various extensions to the base ISO9660 format.
             allow-ldots
                     If enabled, allows filenames to begin with a leading period.  If disabled,
                     filenames that begin with a leading period will have that period replaced by
                     an underscore character in the standard ISO9660 namespace.  This does not
                     impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area.  Default:
                     disabled.
             allow-lowercase
                     If enabled, allows filenames to contain lowercase characters.  If disabled,
                     filenames will be forced to uppercase.  This does not impact names stored in
                     the Rockridge or Joliet extension area.  Default: disabled.
             allow-multidot
                     If enabled, allows filenames to contain multiple period characters, in
                     violation of the ISO9660 specification.  If disabled, additional periods
                     will be converted to underscore characters.  This does not impact names
                     stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area.  Default: disabled.
             allow-period
                     If enabled, allows filenames to contain trailing period characters, in
                     violation of the ISO9660 specification.  If disabled,trailing periods will
                     be converted to underscore characters.  This does not impact names stored in
                     the Rockridge or Joliet extension area.  Default: disabled.
             allow-pvd-lowercase
                     If enabled, the Primary Volume Descriptor may contain lowercase ASCII
                     characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification.  If disabled,
                     characters will be converted to uppercase ASCII.  Default: disabled.
             allow-sharp-tilde
                     If enabled, sharp and tilde characters will be permitted in filenames, in
                     violation if the ISO9660 specification.  If disabled, such characters will
                     be converted to underscore characters.  Default: disabled.
             allow-vernum
                     If enabled, version numbers will be included with files.  If disabled,
                     version numbers will be suppressed, in violation of the ISO9660 standard.
                     This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area.
                     Default: enabled.
             iso-level
                     This enables support for file size and file name extensions in the core
                     ISO9660 area.  The name extensions specified here do not affect the names
                     stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension areas.
                     iso-level=1
                             The most compliant form of ISO9660 image.  Filenames are limited to
                             8.3 uppercase format, directory names are limited to 8 uppercase
                             characters, files are limited to 4 GiB, the complete ISO9660 image
                             cannot exceed 4 GiB.
                     iso-level=2
                             Filenames are limited to 30 uppercase characters with a 30-character
                             extension, directory names are limited to 30 characters, files are
                             limited to 4 GiB.
                     iso-level=3
                             As with iso-level=2, except that files may exceed 4 GiB.
                     iso-level=4
                             As with iso-level=3, except that filenames may be up to 193
                             characters and may include arbitrary 8-bit characters.
             joliet  Microsoft's Joliet extensions store a completely separate set of directory
                     information about each file.  In particular, this information includes
                     Unicode filenames of up to 255 characters.  Default: enabled.
             limit-depth
                     If enabled, libarchive will use directory relocation records to ensure that
                     no pathname exceeds the ISO9660 limit of 8 directory levels.  If disabled,
                     no relocation will occur.  Default: enabled.
             limit-dirs
                     If enabled, libarchive will cause an error if there are more than 65536
                     directories.  If disabled, there is no limit on the number of directories.
                     Default: enabled
             pad     If enabled, 300 kiB of zero bytes will be appended to the end of the
                     archive.  Default: enabled
             relaxed-filenames
                     If enabled, all 7-bit ASCII characters are permitted in filenames (except
                     lowercase characters unless allow-lowercase is also specified).  This
                     violates ISO9660 standards.  This does not impact names stored in the
                     Rockridge or Joliet extension area.  Default: disabled.
             rockridge
                     The Rockridge extensions store an additional set of POSIX-style file
                     information with each file, including mtime, atime, ctime, permissions, and
                     long filenames with arbitrary 8-bit characters.  These extensions also
                     support symbolic links and other POSIX file types.  Default: enabled.
     Format iso9660 - zisofs support
             The zisofs extensions permit each file to be independently compressed using a gzip-
             compatible compression.  This can provide significant size savings, but requires the
             reading system to have support for these extensions.  These extensions are disabled
             by default.
             compression-level=number
                     The compression level used by the deflate compressor.  Ranges from 0 (least
                     effort) to 9 (most effort).  Default: 6
             zisofs  Synonym for zisofs=direct.
             zisofs=direct
                     Compress each file in the archive.  Unlike zisofs=indirect, this is handled
                     entirely within libarchive and does not require a separate utility.  For
                     best results, libarchive tests each file and will store the file
                     uncompressed if the compression does not actually save any space.  In
                     particular, files under 2k will never be compressed.  Note that boot image
                     files are never compressed.
             zisofs=indirect
                     Recognizes files that have already been compressed with the mkzftree utility
                     and sets up the necessary file metadata so that readers will correctly
                     identify these as zisofs-compressed files.
             zisofs-exclude=filename
                     Specifies a filename that should not be compressed when using zisofs=direct.
                     This option can be provided multiple times to suppress compression on many
                     files.

EXAMPLES

     The following example creates an archive write handle to create a gzip-compressed ISO9660
     format image.  The two options here specify that the ISO9660 archive will use kernel.img as
     the boot image for El Torito booting, and that the gzip compressor should use the maximum
     compression level.

           a = archive_write_new();
           archive_write_add_filter_gzip(a);
           archive_write_set_format_iso9660(a);
           archive_write_set_options(a, "boot=kernel.img,compression=9");
           archive_write_open_filename(a, filename, blocksize);

ERRORS

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