The following summary describes the functions in approximately
the order they are ordinarily used:
.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fn archive_write_open
-Freeze the settings, open the archive, and prepare for writing entries.
-This is the most generic form of this function, which accepts
-pointers to three callback functions which will be invoked by
-the compression layer to write the constructed archive.
-.It Fn archive_write_open_fd
-A convenience form of
-.Fn archive_write_open
-that accepts a file descriptor.
-The
-.Fn archive_write_open_fd
-function is safe for use with tape drives or other
-block-oriented devices.
-.It Fn archive_write_open_FILE
-A convenience form of
-.Fn archive_write_open
-that accepts a
-.Ft "FILE *"
-pointer.
-Note that
-.Fn archive_write_open_FILE
-is not safe for writing to tape drives or other devices
-that require correct blocking.
-.It Fn archive_write_open_file
-A deprecated synonym for
-.Fn archive_write_open_filename .
-.It Fn archive_write_open_filename
-A convenience form of
-.Fn archive_write_open
-that accepts a filename.
-A NULL argument indicates that the output should be written to standard output;
-an argument of
-.Dq -
-will open a file with that name.
-If you have not invoked
-.Fn archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block ,
-then
-.Fn archive_write_open_filename
-will adjust the last-block padding depending on the file:
-it will enable padding when writing to standard output or
-to a character or block device node, it will disable padding otherwise.
-You can override this by manually invoking
-.Fn archive_write_set_bytes_in_last_block
-before calling
-.Fn archive_write_open .
-The
-.Fn archive_write_open_filename
-function is safe for use with tape drives or other
-block-oriented devices.
-.It Fn archive_write_open_memory
-A convenience form of
-.Fn archive_write_open
-that accepts a pointer to a block of memory that will receive
-the archive.
-The final
-.Ft "size_t *"
-argument points to a variable that will be updated
-after each write to reflect how much of the buffer
-is currently in use.
-You should be careful to ensure that this variable
-remains allocated until after the archive is
-closed.
.It Fn archive_write_header
Build and write a header using the data in the provided
.Tn struct archive_entry

+.\"
+.Sh CLIENT CALLBACKS
+To use this library, you will need to define and register
+callback functions that will be invoked to write data to the
+resulting archive.
+These functions are registered by calling
+.Fn archive_write_open :
+.Bl -item -offset indent
+.It
+.Ft typedef int
+.Fn archive_open_callback "struct archive *" "void *client_data"
+.El
+.Pp
+The open callback is invoked by
+.Fn archive_write_open .
+It should return
+.Cm ARCHIVE_OK
+if the underlying file or data source is successfully
+opened.
+If the open fails, it should call
+.Fn archive_set_error
+to register an error code and message and return
+.Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL .
+.Bl -item -offset indent
+.It
+.Ft typedef ssize_t
+.Fo archive_write_callback
+.Fa "struct archive *"
+.Fa "void *client_data"
+.Fa "const void *buffer"
+.Fa "size_t length"
+.Fc
+.El
+.Pp
+The write callback is invoked whenever the library
+needs to write raw bytes to the archive.
+For correct blocking, each call to the write callback function
+should translate into a single
+.Xr write 2
+system call.
+This is especially critical when writing archives to tape drives.
+On success, the write callback should return the
+number of bytes actually written.
+On error, the callback should invoke
+.Fn archive_set_error
+to register an error code and message and return -1.
+.Bl -item -offset indent
+.It
+.Ft typedef int
+.Fn archive_close_callback "struct archive *" "void *client_data"
+.El
+.Pp
+The close callback is invoked by archive_close when
+the archive processing is complete.
+The callback should return
+.Cm ARCHIVE_OK
+on success.
+On failure, the callback should invoke
+.Fn archive_set_error
+to register an error code and message and
+return
+.Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL.
+.\" .Sh EXAMPLE
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+These functions return
+.Cm ARCHIVE_OK
+on success, or
+.Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL .
+.Pp
+Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
+.Fn archive_errno
+and
+.Fn archive_error_string
+functions.
+.Pp
+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
+may include
+.Fn archive_write_header ,
+.Fn archive_write_data ,
+.Fn archive_write_close ,
+.Fn archive_write_finish ,
+or
+.Fn archive_write_free .
+The client callback can call
+.Fn archive_set_error
+to provide values that can then be retrieved by
+.Fn archive_errno
+and
+.Fn archive_error_string .
