.Sh DESCRIPTION l -tag -compact -width indent t Fn archive_read_next_header Read the header for the next entry and return a pointer to a .Tn struct archive_entry . This is a convenience wrapper around .Fn archive_read_next_header2 that reuses an internal .Tn struct archive_entry object for each request. t Fn archive_read_next_header2 Read the header for the next entry and populate the provided .Tn struct archive_entry . .El
.Sh RETURN VALUES These functions return .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).
