The following summary describes the functions in approximately
the order they are ordinarily used:
.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fn archive_write_data
-Write data corresponding to the header just written.
-Returns number of bytes written or -1 on error.
.It Fn archive_write_finish_entry
Close out the entry just written.
In particular, this writes out the final padding required by some formats.
.Fn archive_error_string
functions can be used to retrieve an appropriate error code and a
textual error message.
-.Pp
-.Fn archive_write_data
-returns a count of the number of bytes actually written.
-On error, -1 is returned and the
-.Fn archive_errno
-and
-.Fn archive_error_string
-functions will return appropriate values.
Note that if the client-provided write callback function
returns a non-zero value, that error will be propagated back to the caller
through whatever API function resulted in that call, which
