ARCHIVE_READ_HEADER(3)	 BSD Library Functions Manual	ARCHIVE_READ_HEADER(3)

NAME

     archive_read_next_header, archive_read_next_header2 — functions for read‐

     ing streaming archives

LIBRARY

     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <archive.h>

     int

     archive_read_next_header(struct archive *, struct archive_entry **);

     int

     archive_read_next_header2(struct archive *, struct archive_entry *);

DESCRIPTION

     archive_read_next_header()

	     Read the header for the next entry and return a pointer to a

	     struct archive_entry.  This is a convenience wrapper around

	     archive_read_next_header2() that reuses an internal struct

	     archive_entry object for each request.

     archive_read_next_header2()

	     Read the header for the next entry and populate the provided

	     struct archive_entry.

RETURN VALUES

     These functions return 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 opera‐

     tion 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.
