archive_write_data(3)
functions for creating archives
LIBRARY
Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)
SYNOPSIS
In archive.h
Ft la_ssize_t
Fn archive_write_data struct archive * const void * size_t
DESCRIPTION
Write data corresponding to the header just written.
RETURN VALUES
This function returns the number of bytes actually written, or
a negative error code on error.
ERRORS
Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
Fn archive_errno
and
Fn archive_error_string
functions.
BUGS
In libarchive 3.x, this function sometimes returns
zero on success instead of returning the number of bytes written.
Specifically, this occurs when writing to an
Vt archive_write_disk
handle.
Clients should treat any value less than zero as an error
and consider any non-negative value as success.
