pub fn into_inner(self) -> Result<W>

Unwrap this archive builder, returning the underlying writer object.

pub fn append<R: Read>(&mut self, header: &Header, data: R) -> Result<()>

Adds a new entry to this archive.

pub fn append_path<P: AsRef<Path>>(&mut self, path: P) -> Result<()>

Adds a file on the local filesystem to this archive, using the file name as its identifier.

pub fn append_file(&mut self, name: &[u8], file: &mut File) -> Result<()>
