23 archive_read_close()
24 Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
25 archive_read_finish()
26 This is a deprecated synonym for archive_read_free(). The new
27 name was introduced with libarchive 3.0. Applications that need
28 to compile with either libarchive 2 or libarchive 3 should con‐
29 tinue to use the archive_read_finish() name. Both names will be
30 supported until libarchive 4.0 is released, which is not expected
31 to occur earlier than 2013.
32 archive_read_free()
33 Invokes archive_read_close() if it was not invoked manually, then
34 release all resources. Note: In libarchive 1.x, this function
35 was declared to return void, which made it impossible to detect
36 certain errors when archive_read_close() was invoked implicitly
37 from this function. The declaration is corrected beginning with
38 libarchive 2.0.

41 These functions return ARCHIVE_OK on success, or ARCHIVE_FATAL.

44 Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
45 archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions.
