<p style="margin-top: 1em"><b>DESCRIPTION</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:4%;"><b>Copying to and from</b>
<b><i>struct stat</i></b></p>
<p style="margin-left:9%;">The function
<b>archive_entry_stat</b>() converts the various fields
stored in the archive entry to the format used by
<i>stat</i>(2). The return value remains valid until either
<b>archive_entry_clear</b>() or <b>archive_entry_free</b>()
is called. It is not affected by calls to the set accessor
functions. It currently sets the following values in
<i>struct stat</i>: <i>st_atime</i>, <i>st_ctime</i>,
<i>st_dev</i>, <i>st_gid</i>, <i>st_ino</i>, <i>st_mode</i>,
<i>st_mtime</i>, <i>st_nlink</i>, <i>st_rdev</i>,
<i>st_size</i>, <i>st_uid</i>. In addition,
<i>st_birthtime</i> and high-precision information for
time-related fields will be included on platforms that
support it.</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The function
<b>archive_entry_copy_stat</b>() copies fields from the
platform’s <i>struct stat</i>. Fields not provided by
<i>struct stat</i> are unchanged.</p>
<p style="margin-left:4%; margin-top: 1em"><b>General
accessor functions</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:9%;">The functions
<b>archive_entry_filetype</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_set_filetype</b>() get respectively set the
filetype. The file type is one of the following
constants:</p>
<p>AE_IFREG</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Regular
file</p>
<p>AE_IFLNK</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Symbolic
link</p>
<p>AE_IFSOCK</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Socket</p>
<p>AE_IFCHR</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Character
device</p>
<p>AE_IFBLK</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Block
device</p>
<p>AE_IFDIR</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Directory</p>
<p>AE_IFIFO</p>
<p style="margin-left:31%; margin-top: 1em">Named pipe
(fifo)</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%;">Not all file types are supported
by all platforms. The constants used by <i>stat</i>(2) may
have different numeric values from the corresponding
constants above.</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The functions
<b>archive_entry_mode</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_set_mode</b>() get/set a combination of
file type and permissions and provide the equivalent of
<i>st_mode</i>. Use of <b>archive_entry_filetype</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_perm</b>() for getting and
<b>archive_entry_set_filetype</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_set_perm</b>() for setting is
recommended.</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The function
<b>archive_entry_size</b>() returns the file size, if it has
been set, and 0 otherwise.
<b>archive_entry_size_is_set</b>() can be used to query that
status. <b>archive_entry_set_size</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_unset_size</b>() set and unset the size,
respectively.</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The number of
references (hardlinks) can be obtained by calling
<b>archive_entry_nlink</b>() and set with
<b>archive_entry_set_nlink</b>().</p>
<p style="margin-left:4%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Identifying
unique files</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:9%;">The functions
<b>archive_entry_dev</b>() and <b>archive_entry_ino64</b>()
are used by <i>archive_entry_linkify</i>(3) to find
hardlinks. The pair of device and inode is supposed to
identify hardlinked files.</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The device major
and minor number can be obtained independently using
<b>archive_entry_devmajor</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_devminor</b>(). The device can be set
either via <b>archive_entry_set_dev</b>() or by the
combination of major and minor number using
<b>archive_entry_set_devmajor</b>() and
<b>archive_entry_set_devminor</b>().</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The inode number
can be obtained using <b>archive_entry_ino</b>(). This is a
legacy interface that uses the platform <i>ino_t</i>, which
may be very small. To set the inode number,
<b>archive_entry_set_ino64</b>() is the preferred
interface.</p>
<p style="margin-left:4%; margin-top: 1em"><b>Accessor
functions for block and character devices</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:9%;">Block and character devices are
characterised either using a device number or a pair of
major and minor number. The combined device number can be
obtained with <b>archive_device_rdev</b>() and set with
<b>archive_device_set_rdev</b>(). The major and minor
numbers are accessed by <b>archive_device_rdevmajor</b>(),
<b>archive_device_rdevminor</b>()
<b>archive_device_set_rdevmajor</b>() and
<b>archive_device_set_rdevminor</b>().</p>
<p style="margin-left:9%; margin-top: 1em">The process of
splitting the combined device number into major and minor
number and the reverse process of combing them differs
between platforms. Some archive formats use the combined
form, while other formats use the split form.</p>
