<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>DESCRIPTION <br>
archive_read_extract</b>(),
<b>archive_read_extract_set_skip_file</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:17%;">A convenience function that
wraps the corresponding archive_write_disk(3) interfaces.
The first call to <b>archive_read_extract</b>() creates a
restore object using archive_write_disk_new(3) and
archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup(3), then
transparently invokes archive_write_disk_set_options(3),
archive_write_header(3), archive_write_data(3), and
archive_write_finish_entry(3) to create the entry on disk
and copy data into it. The <i>flags</i> argument is passed
unmodified to archive_write_disk_set_options(3).</p>

<p><b>archive_read_extract2</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:17%;">This is another version of
<b>archive_read_extract</b>() that allows you to provide
your own restore object. In particular, this allows you to
override the standard lookup functions using
archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup(3), and
archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup(3). Note that
<b>archive_read_extract2</b>() does not accept a
<i>flags</i> argument; you should use
<b>archive_write_disk_set_options</b>() to set the restore
options yourself.</p>

<p><b>archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback</b>()</p>

<p style="margin-left:17%;">Sets a pointer to a
user-defined callback that can be used for updating progress
displays during extraction. The progress function will be
invoked during the extraction of large regular files. The
progress function will be invoked with the pointer provided
to this call. Generally, the data pointed to should include
a reference to the archive object and the archive_entry
object so that various statistics can be retrieved for the
progress display.</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>RETURN VALUES</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:6%;">Most functions return zero on
success, non-zero on error. The possible return codes
include: <b>ARCHIVE_OK</b> (the operation succeeded),
<b>ARCHIVE_WARN</b> (the operation succeeded but a
non-critical error was encountered), <b>ARCHIVE_EOF</b>
(end-of-archive was encountered), <b>ARCHIVE_RETRY</b> (the
operation failed but can be retried), and
<b>ARCHIVE_FATAL</b> (there was a fatal error; the archive
should be closed immediately).</p>

<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>ERRORS</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:6%;">Detailed error codes and textual
descriptions are available from the <b>archive_errno</b>()
and <b>archive_error_string</b>() functions.</p>
