DESCRIPTION¶

Path names supported by archive_entry(3):

hardlink

Destination of the hardlink.

link

Update only. For a symlink, update the destination. Otherwise, make the entry a hardlink and alter the destination for that.

pathname

Path in the archive

sourcepath

Path on the disk for use by archive_read_disk(3).

symlink

Destination of the symbolic link.

Path names can be provided in one of three different ways:

char *

Multibyte strings in the current locale.

wchar_t *

Wide character strings in the current locale. The accessor functions are named XXX_w().

UTF-8

Unicode strings encoded as UTF-8. This are convience functions to update both the multibyte and wide character strings at the same time.

The sourcepath is a pure filesystem concept and never stored in an archive directly. For that reason, it is only available as multibyte string. The link path is a convience function for conditionally setting hardlink or symlink destination. It doesn't have a corresponding get accessor function. archive_entry_set_XXX() is an alias for archive_entry_copy_XXX().
