ARCHIVE_WRITE_BLOCKSIZE(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual
NAME
archive_write_get_bytes_per_block, archive_write_set_bytes_per_block,
archive_write_get_bytes_in_last_block,
archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block - functions for creating archives
LIBRARY
Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
SYNOPSIS
#include <archive.h>
int
archive_write_get_bytes_per_block(struct archive *);
int
archive_write_set_bytes_per_block(struct archive *, int bytes_per_block);
int
archive_write_get_bytes_in_last_block(struct archive *);
int
archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block(struct archive *, int);
DESCRIPTION
archive_write_set_bytes_per_block()
Sets the block size used for writing the archive data. Every
call to the write callback function, except possibly the last
one, will use this value for the length. The default is to use a
block size of 10240 bytes. Note that a block size of zero will
suppress internal blocking and cause writes to be sent directly
to the write callback as they occur.
archive_write_get_bytes_per_block()
Retrieve the block size to be used for writing. A value of -1
here indicates that the library should use default values. A
value of zero indicates that internal blocking is suppressed.
archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block()
Sets the block size used for writing the last block. If this
value is zero, the last block will be padded to the same size as
the other blocks. Otherwise, the final block will be padded to a
multiple of this size. In particular, setting it to 1 will cause
the final block to not be padded. For compressed output, any
padding generated by this option is applied only after the
compression. The uncompressed data is always unpadded. The
default is to pad the last block to the full block size (note
that archive_write_open_filename() will set this based on the
file type). Unlike the other "set" functions, this function can
be called after the archive is opened.
archive_write_get_bytes_in_last_block()
Retrieve the currently-set value for last block size. A value of
-1 here indicates that the library should use default values.
RETURN VALUES
archive_write_set_bytes_per_block() and
archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block() return ARCHIVE_OK on success, or
Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions.
