archive_read()
interface. The general process is to read struct archive_entry objects from an
archive, then write those objects to a struct archive object created using the
archive_write_disk() family functions. This interface
is deliberately very similar to the archive_write()
interface used to write objects to a streaming archive.

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.
archive_write_disk_new() returns a pointer
to a newly-allocated struct archive object.
archive_write_data() returns a count of
the number of bytes actually written, or -1 on
error.

libarchive library first appeared in
FreeBSD 5.3. The
archive_write_disk interface was added to
libarchive 2.0 and first appeared in
FreeBSD 6.3.
libarchive library was written by
Tim Kientzle ⟨kientzle@acm.org⟩.
archive_write_header(), but final
permissions are not set until archive_write_close().
This separation is necessary to correctly handle borderline cases such as a
non-writable directory containing files, but can cause unexpected results. In
particular, directory permissions are not fully restored until the archive is
closed. If you use chdir(2) to
change the current directory between calls to
archive_read_extract() or before calling
archive_read_close(), you may confuse the
permission-setting logic with the result that directory permissions are
restored incorrectly.
The library attempts to create objects with filenames longer than
PATH_MAX by creating prefixes of the full path and
changing the current directory. Currently, this logic is limited in scope;
the fixup pass does not work correctly for such objects and the symlink
security check option disables the support for very long pathnames.
Restoring the path aa/../bb does create
each intermediate directory. In particular, the directory
aa is created as well as the final object
bb. In theory, this can be exploited to create an
entire directory hierarchy with a single request. Of course, this does not
work if the ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_NODOTDOT option is
specified.
Implicit directories are always created obeying the current umask.
Explicit objects are created obeying the current umask unless
ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_PERM is specified, in which case
they current umask is ignored.
SGID and SUID bits are restored only if the correct user and group
could be set. If ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_OWNER is not
specified, then no attempt is made to set the ownership. In this case, SGID
and SUID bits are restored only if the user and group of the final object
happen to match those specified in the entry.
The “standard” user-id and group-id lookup functions are not the defaults because getgrnam(3) and getpwnam(3) are sometimes too large for particular applications. The current design allows the application author to use a more compact implementation when appropriate.
There should be a corresponding
archive_read_disk interface that walks a directory
hierarchy and returns archive entry objects.
