DESCRIPTION
   Copying to and from struct stat
     The function archive_entry_stat() converts the various fields stored in the
     archive entry to the format used by  stat(2).   The  return  value  remains
     valid until either archive_entry_clear() or archive_entry_free() is called.
     It  is  not  affected by calls to the set accessor functions.  It currently
     sets the following values	in  struct  stat:  st_atime,  st_ctime,  st_dev,
     st_gid,  st_ino, st_mode, st_mtime, st_nlink, st_rdev, st_size, st_uid.  In
     addition, st_birthtime  and  high-precision  information  for  time-related
     fields will be included on platforms that support it.

     The  function  archive_entry_copy_stat()  copies fields from the platform's
     struct stat.  Fields not provided by struct stat are unchanged.

   General accessor functions
     The functions archive_entry_filetype() and archive_entry_set_filetype() get
     respectively set the filetype.  The file type is one of the following  con-
     stants:
	   AE_IFREG   Regular file
	   AE_IFLNK   Symbolic link
	   AE_IFSOCK  Socket
	   AE_IFCHR   Character device
	   AE_IFBLK   Block device
	   AE_IFDIR   Directory
	   AE_IFIFO   Named pipe (fifo)
     Not  all  file types are supported by all platforms.  The constants used by
     stat(2) may have different numeric values from the corresponding  constants
     above.

     The  functions  archive_entry_mode() and archive_entry_set_mode() get/set a
     combination of file type and permissions  and  provide  the  equivalent  of
     st_mode.  Use of archive_entry_filetype() and archive_entry_perm() for get-
     ting and archive_entry_set_filetype() and archive_entry_set_perm() for set-
     ting is recommended.

     The  function  archive_entry_size()  returns  the file size, if it has been
     set, and 0 otherwise.  archive_entry_size_is_set() can  be  used  to  query
     that  status.   archive_entry_set_size() and archive_entry_unset_size() set
     and unset the size, respectively.

     The number of references (hardlinks) can be obtained by calling archive_en-
     try_nlink() and set with archive_entry_set_nlink().

   Identifying unique files
     The functions archive_entry_dev() and  archive_entry_ino64()  are	used  by
     archive_entry_linkify(3)  to  find hardlinks.  The pair of device and inode
     is supposed to identify hardlinked files.

     The device major and minor  number  can  be  obtained  independently  using
     archive_entry_devmajor()  and  archive_entry_devminor().  The device can be
     set either via archive_entry_set_dev() or by the combination of  major  and
     minor  number  using archive_entry_set_devmajor() and archive_entry_set_de-
     vminor().

     The inode number can be obtained  using  archive_entry_ino().   This  is  a
     legacy interface that uses the platform ino_t, which may be very small.  To
     set the inode number, archive_entry_set_ino64() is the preferred interface.

   Accessor functions for block and character devices
     Block  and character devices are characterised either using a device number
     or a pair of major and minor number.  The combined device number can be ob-
     tained with archive_device_rdev() and set	with  archive_device_set_rdev().
     The  major  and  minor  numbers are accessed by archive_device_rdevmajor(),
     archive_device_rdevminor() archive_device_set_rdevmajor()	and  archive_de-
     vice_set_rdevminor().

     The  process  of  splitting the combined device number into major and minor
     number and the reverse process of combing them differs  between  platforms.
     Some  archive  formats  use  the combined form, while other formats use the
     split form.
