DESCRIPTION

97     These functions set the format that will be used for the archive.
98
99     The library can write a variety of common archive formats.
100
101     archive_write_set_format()
102             Sets the format based on the format code (see archive.h for the
103             full list of format codes).  In particular, this can be used in
104             conjunction with archive_format() to create a new archive with
105             the same format as an existing archive.
106
107     archive_write_set_format_by_name()
108             Sets the corresponding format based on the common name.
109
110     archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext(),
111             archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext_def()
112             Sets both filters and format based on the output filename.  Sup‐
113             ported extensions: .7z, .zip, .jar, .cpio, .iso, .a, .ar, .tar,
114             .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz
115
116     archive_write_set_format_7zip() archive_write_set_format_ar_bsd(),
117             archive_write_set_format_ar_svr4(),
118             archive_write_set_format_cpio()
119             archive_write_set_format_cpio_newc()
120             archive_write_set_format_gnutar()
121             archive_write_set_format_iso9660()
122             archive_write_set_format_mtree()
123             archive_write_set_format_mtree_classic()
124             archive_write_set_format_pax()
125             archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted()
126             archive_write_set_format_raw() archive_write_set_format_shar()
127             archive_write_set_format_shar_dump()
128             archive_write_set_format_ustar() archive_write_set_format_v7tar()
129             archive_write_set_format_warc() archive_write_set_format_xar()
130             archive_write_set_format_zip()
131             Set the format as specified.  More details on the formats sup‐
132             ported by libarchive can be found in the libarchive-formats(5)
133             manual page.
