Note that this setting is ignored for directories, symbolic links, and other special entries. .It Cm compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specifying the compression level. Values between 0 and 9 are supported. The interpretation of the compression level depends on the chosen compression method. .El .It Format cpio .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. .El .It Format gnutar .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. .El .It Format iso9660 - volume metadata These options are used to set standard ISO9660 metadata. .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm abstract-file Ns = Ns Ar filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the abstract for this volume. Default: none. .It Cm application-id Ns = Ns Ar filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the application identifier for this volume. Default: none. .It Cm biblio-file Ns = Ns Ar filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the bibliography for this volume. Default: none. .It Cm copyright-file Ns = Ns Ar filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the copyright for this volume. Default: none. .It Cm publisher Ns = Ns Ar filename The file with the specified name will be identified in the ISO9660 metadata as holding the publisher information for this volume. Default: none. .It Cm volume-id Ns = Ns Ar string The specified string will be used as the Volume Identifier in the ISO9660 metadata. It is limited to 32 bytes. Default: none. .El .It Format iso9660 - boot support These options are used to make an ISO9660 image that can be directly booted on various systems. .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm boot Ns = Ns Ar filename The file matching this name will be used as the El Torito boot image file. .It Cm boot-catalog Ns = Ns Ar name The name that will be used for the El Torito boot catalog. Default: .Ar boot.catalog .It Cm boot-info-table The boot image file provided by the .Cm boot Ns = Ns Ar filename option will be edited with appropriate boot information in bytes 8 through 64. Default: disabled .It Cm boot-load-seg Ns = Ns Ar hexadecimal-number The load segment for a no-emulation boot image. .It Cm boot-load-size Ns = Ns Ar decimal-number The number of "virtual" 512-byte sectors to be loaded from a no-emulation boot image. Some very old BIOSes can only load very small images, setting this value to 4 will often allow such BIOSes to load the first part of the boot image (which will then need to be intelligent enough to load the rest of itself). This should not be needed unless you are trying to support systems with very old BIOSes. This defaults to the full size of the image. .It Cm boot-type Ns = Ns Ar value Specifies the boot semantics used by the El Torito boot image: If the .Ar value is .Cm fd , then the boot image is assumed to be a bootable floppy image. If the .Ar value is .Cm hd , then the boot image is assumed to be a bootable hard disk image. If the .Ar value is .Cm no-emulation , the boot image is used without floppy or hard disk emulation. If the boot image is exactly 1.2MB, 1.44MB, or 2.88MB, then the default is .Cm fd , otherwise the default is .Cm no-emulation . .El .It Format iso9660 - filename and size extensions Various extensions to the base ISO9660 format. .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm allow-ldots If enabled, allows filenames to begin with a leading period. If disabled, filenames that begin with a leading period will have that period replaced by an underscore character in the standard ISO9660 namespace. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. .It Cm allow-lowercase If enabled, allows filenames to contain lowercase characters. If disabled, filenames will be forced to uppercase. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. .It Cm allow-multidot If enabled, allows filenames to contain multiple period characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, additional periods will be converted to underscore characters. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. .It Cm allow-period If enabled, allows filenames to contain trailing period characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, trailing periods will be converted to underscore characters. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. .It Cm allow-pvd-lowercase If enabled, the Primary Volume Descriptor may contain lowercase ASCII characters, in violation of the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, characters will be converted to uppercase ASCII. Default: disabled. .It Cm allow-sharp-tilde If enabled, sharp and tilde characters will be permitted in filenames, in violation if the ISO9660 specification. If disabled, such characters will be converted to underscore characters. Default: disabled. .It Cm allow-vernum If enabled, version numbers will be included with files. If disabled, version numbers will be suppressed, in violation of the ISO9660 standard. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: enabled. .It Cm iso-level This enables support for file size and file name extensions in the core ISO9660 area. The name extensions specified here do not affect the names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension areas. .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm iso-level=1 The most compliant form of ISO9660 image. Filenames are limited to 8.3 uppercase format, directory names are limited to 8 uppercase characters, files are limited to 4 GiB, the complete ISO9660 image cannot exceed 4 GiB. .It Cm iso-level=2 Filenames are limited to 30 uppercase characters with a 30-character extension, directory names are limited to 30 characters, files are limited to 4 GiB. .It Cm iso-level=3 As with .Cm iso-level=2 , except that files may exceed 4 GiB. .It Cm iso-level=4 As with .Cm iso-level=3 , except that filenames may be up to 193 characters and may include arbitrary 8-bit characters. .El .It Cm joliet Microsoft's Joliet extensions store a completely separate set of directory information about each file. In particular, this information includes Unicode filenames of up to 255 characters. Default: enabled. .It Cm limit-depth If enabled, libarchive will use directory relocation records to ensure that no pathname exceeds the ISO9660 limit of 8 directory levels. If disabled, no relocation will occur. Default: enabled. .It Cm limit-dirs If enabled, libarchive will cause an error if there are more than 65536 directories. If disabled, there is no limit on the number of directories. Default: enabled .It Cm pad If enabled, 300 kiB of zero bytes will be appended to the end of the archive. Default: enabled .It Cm relaxed-filenames If enabled, all 7-bit ASCII characters are permitted in filenames (except lowercase characters unless .Cm allow-lowercase is also specified). This violates ISO9660 standards. This does not impact names stored in the Rockridge or Joliet extension area. Default: disabled. .It Cm rockridge The Rockridge extensions store an additional set of POSIX-style file information with each file, including mtime, atime, ctime, permissions, and long filenames with arbitrary 8-bit characters. These extensions also support symbolic links and other POSIX file types. Default: enabled. .El .It Format iso9660 - zisofs support The zisofs extensions permit each file to be independently compressed using a gzip-compatible compression. This can provide significant size savings, but requires the reading system to have support for these extensions. These extensions are disabled by default. .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm compression-level Ns = Ns number The compression level used by the deflate compressor. Ranges from 0 (least effort) to 9 (most effort). Default: 6 .It Cm zisofs Synonym for .Cm zisofs=direct . .It Cm zisofs=direct Compress each file in the archive. Unlike .Cm zisofs=indirect , this is handled entirely within libarchive and does not require a separate utility. For best results, libarchive tests each file and will store the file uncompressed if the compression does not actually save any space. In particular, files under 2k will never be compressed. Note that boot image files are never compressed. .It Cm zisofs=indirect Recognizes files that have already been compressed with the .Cm mkzftree utility and sets up the necessary file metadata so that readers will correctly identify these as zisofs-compressed files. .It Cm zisofs-exclude Ns = Ns Ar filename Specifies a filename that should not be compressed when using .Cm zisofs=direct . This option can be provided multiple times to suppress compression on many files. .El .It Format mtree .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm cksum , Cm device , Cm flags , Cm gid , Cm gname , Cm indent , Cm link , Cm md5 , Cm mode , Cm nlink , Cm rmd160 , Cm sha1 , Cm sha256 , Cm sha384 , Cm sha512 , Cm size , Cm time , Cm uid , Cm uname Enable a particular keyword in the mtree output. Prefix with an exclamation mark to disable the corresponding keyword. The default is equivalent to .Dq device, flags, gid, gname, link, mode, nlink, size, time, type, uid, uname . .It Cm all Enables all of the above keywords. .It Cm use-set Enables generation of .Cm /set lines that specify default values for the following files and/or directories. .It Cm indent XXX needs explanation XXX .El .It Format newc .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. .El .It Format pax .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. The value is one of .Dq BINARY or .Dq UTF-8 . With .Dq BINARY there is no character conversion, with .Dq UTF-8 names are converted to UTF-8. .It Cm xattrheader When storing extended attributes, this option configures which headers should be written. The value is one of .Dq all , .Dq LIBARCHIVE , or .Dq SCHILY . By default, both .Dq LIBARCHIVE.xattr and .Dq SCHILY.xattr headers are written. .El .It Format ustar .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. .El .It Format v7tar .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file, group and user names. .El .It Format warc .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm omit-warcinfo Set to .Dq true to disable output of the warcinfo record. .El .It Format xar .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm checksum Ns = Ns Ar type Use .Ar type as file checksum method. Supported values are .Dq none , .Dq md5 , and .Dq sha1 .Pq default . .It Cm compression Ns = Ns Ar type Use .Ar type as compression method. Supported values are .Dq none , .Dq bzip2 , .Dq gzip .Pq default , .Dq lzma and .Dq xz . .It Cm compression_level The value is a decimal integer from 1 to 9 specifying the compression level. .It Cm toc-checksum Ns = Ns Ar type Use .Ar type as table of contents checksum method. Supported values are .Dq none , .Dq md5 and .Dq sha1 .Pq default . .El .It Format zip .Bl -tag -compact -width indent .It Cm compression The value is either .Dq store or .Dq deflate to indicate how the following entries should be compressed. Note that this setting is ignored for directories, symbolic links, and other special entries. .It Cm compression-level The value is interpreted as a decimal integer specifying the compression level. Values between 0 and 9 are supported. A compression level of 0 switches the compression method to .Dq store , other values will enable .Dq deflate compression with the given level. .It Cm encryption Enable encryption using traditional zip encryption. .It Cm encryption Ns = Ns Ar type Use .Ar type as encryption type. Supported values are .Dq zipcrypt .Pq traditional zip encryption , .Dq aes128 .Pq WinZip AES-128 encryption and .Dq aes256 .Pq WinZip AES-256 encryption . .It Cm experimental This boolean option enables or disables experimental Zip features that may not be compatible with other Zip implementations. .It Cm fakecrc32 This boolean option disables CRC calculations. All CRC fields are set to zero. It should not be used except for testing purposes. .It Cm hdrcharset The value is used as a character set name that will be used when translating file names. .It Cm zip64 Zip64 extensions provide additional file size information for entries larger than 4 GiB. They also provide extended file offset and archive size information when archives exceed 4 GiB. By default, the Zip writer selectively enables these extensions only as needed. In particular, if the file size is unknown, the Zip writer will include Zip64 extensions to guard against the possibility that the file might be larger than 4 GiB. .Pp Setting this boolean option will force the writer to use Zip64 extensions even for small files that would not otherwise require them. This is primarily useful for testing. .Pp Disabling this option with .Cm !zip64 will force the Zip writer to avoid Zip64 extensions: It will reject files with size greater than 4 GiB, it will reject any new entries once the total archive size reaches 4 GiB, and it will not use Zip64 extensions for files with unknown size. In particular, this can improve compatibility when generating archives where the entry sizes are not known in advance. .El .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following example creates an archive write handle to create a gzip-compressed ISO9660 format image. The two options here specify that the ISO9660 archive will use .Ar kernel.img as the boot image for El Torito booting, and that the gzip compressor should use the maximum compression level. .Bd -literal -offset indent a = archive_write_new(); archive_write_add_filter_gzip(a); archive_write_set_format_iso9660(a); archive_write_set_options(a, "boot=kernel.img,compression=9"); archive_write_open_filename(a, filename, blocksize); .Ed .\" .Sh ERRORS More 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 archive_read_set_options 3 , .Xr archive_write 3 , .Xr libarchive 3 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm libarchive library first appeared in .Fx 5.3 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The options support for libarchive was originally implemented by .An Michihiro NAKAJIMA . .Sh BUGS
