💖 ARCHIVE_WRITE_SET_PASSPHRASE(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the archive_write_set_passphrase page from libarchive — the section 3 joint that's all about writing encrypted archives. 🎀 this is the streaming archive library, and yes we're linking it with -larchive like the icons we are.

🌸 LIBRARY 🌸

Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive). it's giving ✨ trusted friend energy ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <archive.h>

int

    void *client_data, archive_passphrase_callback *);

copy that exactly, no cap. 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

🌈 archive_write_set_passphrase()

bestie this one sets a passphrase for writing an encrypted archive. periodt. 🔐

but listen — if passphrase is NULL or empty, this function will do nothing and return ARCHIVE_FAILED. 😭 not the empty-string betrayal. otherwise, it returns ARCHIVE_OK and we're slaying. 💖

🍓 archive_write_set_passphrase_callback()

this one registers a callback function that gets invoked to grab a passphrase for encryption if the passphrase wasn't already set by the archive_write_set_passphrase() function. so it's the backup bestie. the understudy. the main character who steps in when nobody set a passphrase. 👑

mwah 💋 this was the Debian build, dated September 21, 201… yes the year is literally cut off in the source, not my fault, not me fixing it 🙈, and the whole thing lives under the ARCHIVE_WRITE_SET_PASSPHRASE(3) banner. bye pookie, go encrypt something 🦋🌈💖
