ARCHIVE_WRITE_OPTIONS(3) Library Functions Manual ARCHIVE_WRITE_OPTIONS(3) NAME archive_write_set_filter_option, archive_write_set_format_option, archive_write_set_option, archive_write_set_options -- functions con- trolling options for writing archives LIBRARY Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive) SYNOPSIS int archive_write_set_filter_option(struct archive *, const char *module, const char *option, const char *value); int archive_write_set_format_option(struct archive *, const char *module, const char *option, const char *value); int archive_write_set_option(struct archive *, const char *module, const char *option, const char *value); int archive_write_set_options(struct archive *, const char *options); DESCRIPTION These functions provide a way for libarchive clients to configure spe- cific write modules. archive_write_set_filter_option(), archive_write_set_format_option() Specifies an option that will be passed to the currently-regis- tered filters (including decompression filters) or format read- ers. If option and value are both NULL, these functions will do nothing and ARCHIVE_OK will be returned. If option is NULL but value is not, these functions will do nothing and ARCHIVE_FAILED will be returned. If module is not NULL, option and value will be provided to the filter or reader named module. The return value will be either ARCHIVE_OK if the option was successfully handled or ARCHIVE_WARN if the option was unrecognized by the module or could otherwise not be handled. If there is no such module, ARCHIVE_FAILED will be returned. If module is NULL, option and value will be provided to every registered module. If any module returns ARCHIVE_FATAL, this value will be returned immediately. Otherwise, ARCHIVE_OK will be returned if any module accepts the option, and ARCHIVE_FAILED in all other cases. archive_write_set_option() Calls archive_write_set_format_option(), then archive_write_set_filter_option(). If either function returns ARCHIVE_FATAL, ARCHIVE_FATAL will be returned immediately. Otherwise, the greater of the two values will be returned. archive_write_set_options() options is a comma-separated list of options. If options is NULL or empty, ARCHIVE_OK will be returned immediately. Individual options have one of the following forms: option=value The option/value pair will be provided to every module. Modules that do not accept an option with this name will ignore it. option The option will be provided to every module with a value of "1". !option The option will be provided to every module with a NULL value. module:option=value, module:option, module:!option As above, but the corresponding option and value will be provided only to modules whose name matches module. OPTIONS Filter b64encode mode The value is interpreted as octal digits specifying the file mode. name The value specifies the file name. Filter bzip2 compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the bzip2 compression level. Supported values are from 1 to 9. Filter gzip compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the gzip compression level. Supported values are from 0 to 9. timestamp Store timestamp. This is enabled by default. Filter lrzip compression=type Use type as compression method. Supported values are "bzip2", "gzipi", "lzo" (ultra fast), and "zpaq" (best, extremely slow). compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the lrzip compression level. Supported values are from 1 to 9. Filter lz4 compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the lz4 compression level. Supported values are from 0 to 9. stream-checksum Enable stream checksum. This is enabled by default. block-checksum Enable block checksum. This is disabled by default. block-size The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the lz4 compression block size. Supported values are from 4 to 7 (default). block-dependence Use the previous block of the block being compressed for a compression dictionary to improve compression ra- tio. This is disabled by default. Filter lzop compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the lzop compression level. Supported values are from 1 to 9. Filter uuencode mode The value is interpreted as octal digits specifying the file mode. name The value specifies the file name. Filter xz compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the compression level. Supported values are from 0 to 9. threads The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the number of threads for multi-threaded lzma com- pression. If supported, the default value is read from lzma_cputhreads(). Filter zstd compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the compression level. Supported values depend on the library version, common values are from 1 to 22. long Enables long distance matching. The value is inter- preted as a decimal integer specifying log2 window size in bytes. Values from 10 to 30 for 32 bit, or 31 for 64 bit, are supported. threads The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the number of threads for multi-threaded zstd com- pression. If set to 0, zstd will attempt to detect and use the number of physical CPU cores. Format 7zip compression The value is one of "store", "copy", "deflate", "bzip2", "lzma1", "lzma2" or "ppmd" to indicate how the following entries should be compressed. The values "store" and "copy" are synonyms. Note that this set- ting is ignored for directories, symbolic links, and other special entries. compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the compression level. Values between 0 and 9 are supported, with the exception of bzip2 which only sup- ports values between 1 and 9. The interpretation of the compression level depends on the chosen compression method. Format bin hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. Format gnutar hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. Format iso9660 - volume metadata These options are used to set standard ISO9660 metadata. abstract-file=filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the abstract for this volume. Default: none. application-id=filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the application identi- fier for this volume. Default: none. biblio-file=filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the bibliography for this volume. Default: none. copyright-file=filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the copyright for this volume. Default: none. publisher=filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the publisher informa- tion for this volume. Default: none. volume-id=string The specified string will be used as the Volume Identi- fier in the ISO9660 metadata. It is limited to 32 bytes. Default: none. Format iso9660 - boot support These options are used to make an ISO9660 image that can be di- rectly booted on various systems. boot=filename The file matching this name will be used as the El Torito boot image file. boot-catalog=name The name that will be used for the El Torito boot cata- log. Default: boot.catalog boot-info-table The boot image file provided by the boot=filename op- tion will be edited with appropriate boot information in bytes 8 through 64. Default: disabled boot-load-seg=hexadecimal-number The load segment for a no-emulation boot image. boot-load-size=decimal-number The number of "virtual" 512-byte sectors to be loaded from a no-emulation boot image. Some very old BIOSes can only load very small images, setting this value to 4 will often allow such BIOSes to load the first part of the boot image (which will then need to be intelli- gent enough to load the rest of itself). This should not be needed unless you are trying to support systems with very old BIOSes. This defaults to the full size of the image. boot-type=value Specifies the boot semantics used by the El Torito boot image: If the value is fd, then the boot image is as- sumed to be a bootable floppy image. If the value is hd, then the boot image is assumed to be a bootable hard disk image. If the value is no-emulation, the boot image is used without floppy or hard disk emula- tion. If the boot image is exactly 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB, then the default is fd, otherwise the default is no-emulation. Format iso9660 - filename and size extensions Various extensions to the base ISO9660 format. allow-ldots If enabled, allows filenames to begin with a leading period. If disabled, filenames that begin with a lead- ing period will have that period replaced by an under- score character in the standard ISO9660 namespace. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. allow-lowercase If enabled, allows filenames to contain lowercase char- acters. If disabled, filenames will be forced to up- percase. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. allow-multidot If enabled, allows filenames to contain multiple period characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, additional periods will be converted to underscore characters. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. De- fault: disabled. allow-period If enabled, allows filenames to contain trailing period characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, trailing periods will be converted to un- derscore characters. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. allow-pvd-lowercase If enabled, the Primary Volume Descriptor may contain lowercase ASCII characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, characters will be con- verted to uppercase ASCII. Default: disabled. allow-sharp-tilde If enabled, sharp and tilde characters will be permit- ted in filenames, in violation if the ISO9660 specifi- cation. If disabled, such characters will be converted to underscore characters. Default: disabled. allow-vernum If enabled, version numbers will be included with files. If disabled, version numbers will be sup- pressed, in violation of the ISO9660 standard. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: enabled. iso-level This enables support for file size and file name exten- sions in the core ISO9660 area. The name extensions specified here do not affect the names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension areas. iso-level=1 The most compliant form of ISO9660 image. Filenames are limited to 8.3 uppercase format, directory names are limited to 8 uppercase characters, files are limited to 4 GiB, the complete ISO9660 image cannot exceed 4 GiB. iso-level=2 Filenames are limited to 30 uppercase charac- ters with a 30-character extension, directory names are limited to 30 characters, files are limited to 4 GiB. iso-level=3 As with iso-level=2, except that files may ex- ceed 4 GiB. iso-level=4 As with iso-level=3, except that filenames may be up to 193 characters and may include arbi- trary 8-bit characters. joliet Microsoft's Joliet extensions store a completely sepa- rate set of directory information about each file. In particular, this information includes Unicode filenames of up to 255 characters. Default: enabled. limit-depth If enabled, libarchive will use directory relocation records to ensure that no pathname exceeds the ISO9660 limit of 8 directory levels. If disabled, no reloca- tion will occur. Default: enabled. limit-dirs If enabled, libarchive will cause an error if there are more than 65536 directories. If disabled, there is no limit on the number of directories. Default: enabled pad If enabled, 300 kiB of zero bytes will be appended to the end of the archive. Default: enabled relaxed-filenames If enabled, all 7-bit ASCII characters are permitted in filenames (except lowercase characters unless allow-lowercase is also specified). This violates ISO9660 standards. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. rockridge The Rockridge extensions store an additional set of POSIX-style file information with each file, including mtime, atime, ctime, permissions, and long filenames with arbitrary 8-bit characters. These extensions also support symbolic links and other POSIX file types. De- fault: enabled. Format iso9660 - zisofs support The zisofs extensions permit each file to be independently com- pressed using a gzip-compatible compression. This can provide significant size savings, but requires the reading system to have support for these extensions. These extensions are dis- abled by default. compression-level=number The compression level used by the deflate compressor. Ranges from 0 (least effort) to 9 (most effort). De- fault: 6 zisofs Synonym for zisofs=direct. zisofs=direct Compress each file in the archive. Unlike zisofs=indirect, this is handled entirely within libarchive and does not require a separate utility. For best results, libarchive tests each file and will store the file uncompressed if the compression does not actually save any space. In particular, files under 2k will never be compressed. Note that boot image files are never compressed. zisofs=indirect Recognizes files that have already been compressed with the mkzftree utility and sets up the necessary file metadata so that readers will correctly identify these as zisofs-compressed files. zisofs-exclude=filename Specifies a filename that should not be compressed when using zisofs=direct. This option can be provided mul- tiple times to suppress compression on many files. Format mtree cksum, device, flags, gid, gname, indent, link, md5, mode, nlink, rmd160, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, size, time, uid, uname Enable a particular keyword in the mtree output. Pre- fix with an exclamation mark to disable the correspond- ing keyword. The default is equivalent to "device, flags, gid, gname, link, mode, nlink, size, time, type, uid, uname". all Enables all of the above keywords. use-set Enables generation of /set lines that specify default values for the following files and/or directories. indent XXX needs explanation XXX Format newc hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. Format odc hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. Format pwb hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. Format pax hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. The value is one of "BINARY" or "UTF-8". With "BINARY" there is no character conversion, with "UTF-8" names are converted to UTF-8. xattrheader When storing extended attributes, this option config- ures which headers should be written. The value is one of "all", "LIBARCHIVE", or "SCHILY". By default, both "LIBARCHIVE.xattr" and "SCHILY.xattr" headers are writ- ten. Format ustar hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. Format v7tar hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. Format warc omit-warcinfo Set to "true" to disable output of the warcinfo record. Format xar checksum=type Use type as file checksum method. Supported values are "none", "md5", and "sha1" (default). compression=type Use type as compression method. Supported values are "none", "bzip2", "gzip" (default), "lzma" and "xz". compression_level The value is a decimal integer from 1 to 9 specifying the compression level. toc-checksum=type Use type as table of contents checksum method. Sup- ported values are "none", "md5" and "sha1" (default). Format zip compression The value is either "store" or "deflate" to indicate how the following entries should be compressed. Note that this setting is ignored for directories, symbolic links, and other special entries. compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specify- ing the compression level. Values between 0 and 9 are supported. A compression level of 0 switches the com- pression method to "store", other values will enable "deflate" compression with the given level. encryption Enable encryption using traditional zip encryption. encryption=type Use type as encryption type. Supported values are "zipcrypt" (traditional zip encryption), "aes128" (WinZip AES-128 encryption) and "aes256" (WinZip AES-256 encryption). experimental This boolean option enables or disables experimental Zip features that may not be compatible with other Zip implementations. fakecrc32 This boolean option disables CRC calculations. All CRC fields are set to zero. It should not be used except for testing purposes. hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. zip64 Zip64 extensions provide additional file size informa- tion for entries larger than 4 GiB. They also provide extended file offset and archive size information when archives exceed 4 GiB. By default, the Zip writer se- lectively enables these extensions only as needed. In particular, if the file size is unknown, the Zip writer will include Zip64 extensions to guard against the pos- sibility that the file might be larger than 4 GiB. Setting this boolean option will force the writer to use Zip64 extensions even for small files that would not otherwise require them. This is primarily useful for testing. Disabling this option with !zip64 will force the Zip writer to avoid Zip64 extensions: It will reject files with size greater than 4 GiB, it will reject any new entries once the total archive size reaches 4 GiB, and it will not use Zip64 extensions for files with unknown size. In particular, this can improve compatibility when generating archives where the entry sizes are not known in advance. EXAMPLES The following example creates an archive write handle to create a gzip- compressed ISO9660 format image. The two options here specify that the ISO9660 archive will use kernel.img as the boot image for El Torito booting, and that the gzip compressor should use the maximum compres- sion level. a = archive_write_new(); archive_write_add_filter_gzip(a); archive_write_set_format_iso9660(a); archive_write_set_options(a, "boot=kernel.img,compression=9"); archive_write_open_filename(a, filename, blocksize); ERRORS More detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions.
