DESCRIPTION

28     These functions provide a way for libarchive clients to configure spe‐
29     cific read modules.
30
31     archive_read_set_filter_option(), archive_read_set_format_option()
32             Specifies an option that will be passed to currently-registered
33             filters (including decompression filters) or format readers.
34
35             If option and value are both NULL, these functions will do noth‐
36             ing and ARCHIVE_OK will be returned.  If option is NULL but value
37             is not, these functions will do nothing and ARCHIVE_FAILED will
38             be returned.
39
40             If module is not NULL, option and value will be provided to the
41             filter or reader named module.  The return value will be that of
42             the module.  If there is no such module, ARCHIVE_FAILED will be
43             returned.
44
45             If module is NULL, option and value will be provided to every
46             registered module.  If any module returns ARCHIVE_FATAL, this
47             value will be returned immediately.  Otherwise, ARCHIVE_OK will
48             be returned if any module accepts the option, and ARCHIVE_FAILED
49             in all other cases.
50
51     archive_read_set_option()
52             Calls archive_read_set_format_option(), then
53             archive_read_set_filter_option().  If either function returns
54             ARCHIVE_FATAL, ARCHIVE_FATAL will be returned immediately.  Oth‐
55             erwise, greater of the two values will be returned.
56
57     archive_read_set_options()
58             options is a comma-separated list of options.  If options is NULL
59             or empty, ARCHIVE_OK will be returned immediately.
60
61             Calls archive_read_set_option() with each option in turn.  If any
62             archive_read_set_option() call returns ARCHIVE_FATAL,
63             ARCHIVE_FATAL will be returned immediately.
64
65             Individual options have one of the following forms:
66             option=value
67                     The option/value pair will be provided to every module.
68                     Modules that do not accept an option with this name will
69                     ignore it.
70             option  The option will be provided to every module with a value
71                     of “1”.
72             !option
73                     The option will be provided to every module with a NULL
74                     value.
75             module:option=value, module:option, module:!option
76                     As above, but the corresponding option and value will be
77                     provided only to modules whose name matches module.

OPTIONS

80     Format iso9660
81             joliet  Support Joliet extensions.  Defaults to enabled, use
82                     !joliet to disable.
83             rockridge
84                     Support RockRidge extensions.  Defaults to enabled, use
85                     !rockridge to disable.
86     Format tar
87             compat-2x
88                     Libarchive 2.x incorrectly encoded Unicode filenames on
89                     some platforms.  This option mimics the libarchive 2.x
90                     filename handling so that such archives can be read cor‐
91                     rectly.
92             hdrcharset
93                     The value is used as a character set name that will be
94                     used when translating filenames.
95             mac-ext
96                     Support Mac OS metadata extension that records data in
97                     special files beginning with a period and underscore.
98                     Defaults to enabled on Mac OS, disabled on other plat‐
99                     forms.  Use !mac-ext to disable.
100             read_concatenated_archives
101                     Ignore zeroed blocks in the archive, which occurs when
102                     multiple tar archives have been concatenated together.
103                     Without this option, only the contents of the first con‐
104                     catenated archive would be read.

ERRORS

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