  41. .Fn archive_write_fail "struct archive *"
  42. .Ft int
  43. .Fn archive_write_close "struct archive *"

  48. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  49. .Bl -tag -width indent
  50. .It Fn archive_write_fail
  51. Always returns
  52. .Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL .
  53. This marks the archive object as being unusable;
  54. after calling this function, the only call that can succeed is
  55. .Fn archive_write_free
  56. to release the resources.
  57. This can be used to speed recovery when the archive creation
  58. must be aborted.
  59. Note that the created archive is likely to be malformed in this case;
  60. .It Fn archive_write_close
  61. Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
  62. .It Fn archive_write_finish
  63. This is a deprecated synonym for
  64. .Fn archive_write_free .
  65. .It Fn archive_write_free
  66. Invokes
  67. .Fn archive_write_close
  68. if necessary, then releases all resources.
  69. If you need detailed information about
  70. .Fn archive_write_close
  71. failures, you should be careful to call it separately, as
  72. you cannot obtain error information after
  73. .Fn archive_write_free
  74. returns.
