+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+These functions provide access to various information about the
+.Tn struct archive
+object used in the
+.Xr libarchive 3
+library.
+.Bl -tag -compact -width indent
+.It Fn archive_clear_error
+Clears any error information left over from a previous call.
+Not generally used in client code.
+.It Fn archive_compression
+Returns a numeric code indicating the current compression.
+This value is set by
+.Fn archive_read_open .
+.It Fn archive_compression_name
+Returns a text description of the current compression suitable for display.
+.It Fn archive_copy_error
+Copies error information from one archive to another.
+.It Fn archive_errno
+Returns a numeric error code (see
+.Xr errno 2 )
+indicating the reason for the most recent error return.
+.It Fn archive_error_string
+Returns a textual error message suitable for display.
+The error message here is usually more specific than that
+obtained from passing the result of
+.Fn archive_errno
+to
+.Xr strerror 3 .
+.It Fn archive_file_count
+Returns a count of the number of files processed by this archive object.
+The count is incremented by calls to
+.Xr archive_write_header
+or
+.Xr archive_read_next_header .
+.It Fn archive_format
+Returns a numeric code indicating the format of the current
+archive entry.
+This value is set by a successful call to
+.Fn archive_read_next_header .
+Note that it is common for this value to change from
+entry to entry.
+For example, a tar archive might have several entries that
+utilize GNU tar extensions and several entries that do not.
+These entries will have different format codes.
+.It Fn archive_format_name
+A textual description of the format of the current entry.
+.It Fn archive_set_error
+Sets the numeric error code and error description that will be returned
+by
+.Fn archive_errno
+and
+.Fn archive_error_string .
+This function should be used within I/O callbacks to set system-specific
+error codes and error descriptions.
+This function accepts a printf-like format string and arguments.
+However, you should be careful to use only the following printf
+format specifiers:
+.Dq %c ,
+.Dq %d ,
+.Dq %jd ,
+.Dq %jo ,
+.Dq %ju ,
+.Dq %jx ,
+.Dq %ld ,
+.Dq %lo ,
+.Dq %lu ,
+.Dq %lx ,
+.Dq %o ,
+.Dq %u ,
+.Dq %s ,
+.Dq %x ,
+.Dq %% .
+Field-width specifiers and other printf features are
+not uniformly supported and should not be used.
