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

     The library can write a variety of common archive formats.

     archive_write_set_format()
	     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 archive_format() to create a new archive with
	     the same format as an existing archive.

     archive_write_set_format_by_name()
	     Sets the corresponding format based on the common name.

     archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext(),
	     archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext_def()
	     Sets both filters and format based on the output filename.  Sup‐
	     ported extensions: .7z, .zip, .jar, .cpio, .iso, .a, .ar, .tar,
	     .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz

     archive_write_set_format_7zip() archive_write_set_format_ar_bsd(),
	     archive_write_set_format_ar_svr4(),
	     archive_write_set_format_cpio()
	     archive_write_set_format_cpio_newc()
	     archive_write_set_format_gnutar()
	     archive_write_set_format_iso9660()
	     archive_write_set_format_mtree()
	     archive_write_set_format_mtree_classic()
	     archive_write_set_format_pax()
	     archive_write_set_format_pax_restricted()
	     archive_write_set_format_raw() archive_write_set_format_shar()
	     archive_write_set_format_shar_dump()
	     archive_write_set_format_ustar() archive_write_set_format_v7tar()
	     archive_write_set_format_warc() archive_write_set_format_xar()
	     archive_write_set_format_zip()
	     Set the format as specified.  More details on the formats sup‐
	     ported by libarchive can be found in the libarchive-formats(5)
	     manual page.

RETURN VALUES
     These functions return ARCHIVE_OK on success, or ARCHIVE_FATAL.

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