These functions set the format that will be used for the archive.

The library can write a variety of common archive formats.

()
Sets the format based on the format code (see archive.h for the full list of format codes). In particular, this can be used in conjunction with () to create a new archive with the same format as an existing archive.
()
Sets the corresponding format based on the common name.
() ()
Sets both filters and format based on the output filename. Supported extensions: .7z, .zip, .jar, .cpio, .iso, .a, .ar, .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz
() () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () () ()
Set the format as specified. More details on the formats supported by libarchive can be found in the libarchive-formats(5) manual page.

These functions return ARCHIVE_OK on success, or ARCHIVE_FATAL.

Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the archive_errno() and archive_error_string() functions.
