NAME
     archive_write_set_passphrase, archive_write_set_passphrase_callback -
     functions for writing encrypted archives

LIBRARY
     Streaming Archive Library (libarchive, -larchive)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <archive.h>

     int
     archive_write_set_passphrase(struct archive *, const char *passphrase);

     int
     archive_write_set_passphrase_callback(struct archive *,
         void *client_data, archive_passphrase_callback *);

DESCRIPTION
     archive_write_set_passphrase()
             Set a passphrase for writing an encrypted archive.  If passphrase

             ARCHIVE_FAILED will be returned.  Otherwise, ARCHIVE_OK will be
             returned.

     archive_write_set_passphrase_callback()
             Register a callback function that will be invoked to get a
             passphrase for encryption if the passphrase was not set by the
             archive_write_set_passphrase() function.
