The first call to .Fn archive_read_extract creates a restore object using .Xr archive_write_disk_new 3 and .Xr archive_write_disk_set_standard_lookup 3 , then transparently invokes .Xr archive_write_disk_set_options 3 , .Xr archive_write_header 3 , .Xr archive_write_data 3 , and .Xr archive_write_finish_entry 3 to create the entry on disk and copy data into it. The .Va flags argument is passed unmodified to .Xr archive_write_disk_set_options 3 . t Fn archive_read_extract2 This is another version of .Fn archive_read_extract that allows you to provide your own restore object. In particular, this allows you to override the standard lookup functions using .Xr archive_write_disk_set_group_lookup 3 , and .Xr archive_write_disk_set_user_lookup 3 . Note that .Fn archive_read_extract2 does not accept a .Va flags argument; you should use .Fn archive_write_disk_set_options to set the restore options yourself. t Fn archive_read_extract_set_progress_callback Sets a pointer to a user-defined callback that can be used for updating progress displays during extraction. The progress function will be invoked during the extraction of large regular files. The progress function will be invoked with the pointer provided to this call. Generally, the data pointed to should include a reference to the archive object and the archive_entry object so that various statistics can be retrieved for the progress display. .El
.Sh RETURN VALUES Most functions return zero on success, non-zero on error. The possible return codes include: .Cm ARCHIVE_OK (the operation succeeded), .Cm ARCHIVE_WARN (the operation succeeded but a non-critical error was encountered), .Cm ARCHIVE_EOF (end-of-archive was encountered), .Cm ARCHIVE_RETRY (the operation failed but can be retried), and .Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL (there was a fatal error; the archive should be closed immediately). .Sh ERRORS Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the .Fn archive_errno and .Fn archive_error_string functions. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr tar 1 , .Xr libarchive 3 , .Xr archive_read 3 , .Xr archive_read_data 3 , .Xr archive_read_filter 3 , .Xr archive_read_format 3 , .Xr archive_read_open 3 , .Xr archive_read_set_options 3 , .Xr archive_util 3 , .Xr tar 5
