Add a new archiver to the system.
Defined in <physfs.h>
int PHYSFS_registerArchiver(const PHYSFS_Archiver *archiver);| const PHYSFS_Archiver * | archiver | The archiver to register. |
(int) Returns Zero on error, non-zero on success.
WARNING: This is advanced, hardcore stuff. You don't need this unless you really know what you're doing. Most apps will not need this.
If you want to provide your own archiver (for example, a custom archive file format, or some virtual thing you want to make look like a filesystem that you can access through the usual PhysicsFS APIs), this is where you start. Once an archiver is successfully registered, then you can use PHYSFS_mount() to add archives that your archiver supports to the search path, or perhaps use it as the write dir. Internally, PhysicsFS uses this function to register its own built-in archivers, like .zip support, etc.
You may not have two archivers that handle the same extension. If you are going to have a clash, you can deregister the other archiver (including built-in ones) with PHYSFS_deregisterArchiver().
The data in (archiver) is copied; you may free this pointer when this function returns.
Once this function returns successfully, PhysicsFS will be able to support archives of this type until you deregister the archiver again.
It is safe to call this function from any thread.
This function is available since PhysicsFS 2.1.0.
