.Sh CHANGES IN LIBARCHIVE 3

This page describes user-visible changes in libarchive3, and lists

public functions and other symbols changed, deprecated or removed

in libarchive3, along with their replacements if any.

.Pp

.\"

.Ss Multiple Filters

.\"

Libarchive2 permitted a single (input or output) filter active

on an archive.

Libarchive3 extends this into a variable-length stack.

Where

.Fn archive_write_set_compression_XXX

would replace any existing filter,

.Fn archive_write_add_filter_XXX

extends the write pipeline with another filter.

.\"

.Ss Character Set Handling

.\"

Libarchive2 assumed that the local platform uses

.Tn Unicode

as the native

.Tn wchar_t

encoding, which is true on

.Tn Windows ,

modern

.Tn Linux ,

and a few other systems, but is certainly not universal.

As a result, pax format archives were written incorrectly on some

systems, since pax format requires

.Tn UTF-8

and libarchive 2 incorrectly

assumed that

.Tn wchar_t

strings can be easily converted to

.Tn UTF-8 .

.Pp

Libarchive3 uses the standard iconv library to convert between character

sets and is introducing the notion of a

.Dq default character set for the archive .

To support this,

.Tn archive_entry

objects can now be bound to a particular archive when they are created.

The automatic character set conversions performed by

.Tn archive_entry

objects when reading and writing filenames, usernames, and other strings

will now use an appropriate default character set:

.Pp

If the

.Tn archive_entry

object is bound to an archive, it will use the

default character set for that archive.

.Pp

The platform default character encoding (as returned by

.Fn nl_langinfo CHARSET )

will be used if nothing else is specified.

.Pp

Libarchive3 also introduces charset options to many of the archive

readers and writers to control the character set that will be used for

filenames written in those archives.

When possible, this will be set automatically based on information in

the archive itself.

Combining this with the notion of a default character set for the

archive should allow you to configure libarchive to read archives from

other platforms and have the filenames and other information

transparently converted to the character encoding suitable for your

application.

.\"

.Ss Prototype Changes

.\"

These changes break binary compatibility; libarchive3 has a new shared

library version to reflect these changes.

The library now uses portable wide types such as

.Tn int64_t

instead of less-portable types such as

.Tn off_t ,

.Tn gid_t ,

.Tn uid_t ,

and

.Tn ino_t .

.Pp

There are a few cases where these changes will affect your source code:

.Bl -bullet -width ind

.It

In some cases, libarchive's wider types will introduce the possibility

of truncation: for example, on a system with a 16-bit

.Tn uid_t , you risk having uid

.Li 65536

be truncated to uid

.Li 0 ,

which can cause serious security problems.

.It

Typedef function pointer types will be incompatible.

For example, if you define custom skip callbacks, you may have to use

code similar to the following if you want to support building against

libarchive2 and libarchive3:

.Bd -literal

#if ARCHIVE_VERSION_NUMBER < 3000000

typedef off_t myoff_t;

#else

typedef int64_t myoff_t;

#endif

myoff_t

my_skip_function(struct archive *a, void *v, myoff_t o)

{

    ... implementation ...

}
