.SH DESCRIPTION
.ad l
.RS 5
.TP
\fB\%archive_read_close\fP()
Complete the archive and invoke the close callback.
.TP
\fB\%archive_read_finish\fP()
This is a deprecated synonym for
\fB\%archive_read_free\fP().
The new name was introduced with libarchive 3.0.
Applications that need to compile with either libarchive 2
or libarchive 3 should continue to use the
\fB\%archive_read_finish\fP()
name.
Both names will be supported until libarchive 4.0 is
released, which is not expected to occur earlier
than 2013.
.TP
\fB\%archive_read_free\fP()
Invokes
\fB\%archive_read_close\fP()
if it was not invoked manually, then release all resources.
Note: In libarchive 1.x, this function was declared to return
\fIvoid ,\fP
which made it impossible to detect certain errors when
\fB\%archive_read_close\fP()
was invoked implicitly from this function.
The declaration is corrected beginning with libarchive 2.0.
.RE
