+.Xc
+Enables support---including auto-detection code---for the
+specified archive format.
+For example,
+.Fn archive_read_support_format_tar
+enables support for a variety of standard tar formats, old-style tar,
+ustar, pax interchange format, and many common variants.
+.It Fn archive_read_support_format_all
+Enables support for all available formats except the
+.Dq raw
+format (see below).
+.It Fn archive_read_support_format_by_code
+Enables a single format specified by the format code.
+This can be useful when reading a single archive twice;
+use
+.Fn archive_format
+after reading the first time and pass the resulting code
+to this function to selectively enable only the necessary
+format support.
+Note: In statically-linked executables, this will cause
+your program to include support for every format.
+If executable size is a concern, you may wish to avoid
+using this function.
+.It Fn archive_read_support_format_empty
+Enables support for treating empty files as empty archives.
+Because empty files are valid for several different formats,
+it is not possible to accurately determine a format for
+an empty file based purely on contents.
+So empty files are treated by libarchive as a distinct
+format.
+.It Fn archive_read_support_format_raw
+The
+.Dq raw
+format handler allows libarchive to be used to read arbitrary data.
+It treats any data stream as an archive with a single entry.
+The pathname of this entry is
+.Dq data ;
+all other entry fields are unset.
+This is not enabled by
+.Fn archive_read_support_format_all
+in order to avoid erroneous handling of damaged archives.

+.\" .Sh EXAMPLE
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+These functions return
+.Cm ARCHIVE_OK
+on success, or
+.Cm ARCHIVE_FATAL .
+.\"
+.Sh ERRORS
+Detailed error codes and textual descriptions are available from the
+.Fn archive_errno
+and
+.Fn archive_error_string
+functions.

+.Sh BUGS
+Many traditional archiver programs treat
+empty files as valid empty archives.
+For example, many implementations of
+.Xr tar 1
+allow you to append entries to an empty file.
+Of course, it is impossible to determine the format of an empty file
+by inspecting the contents, so this library treats empty files as
+having a special
+.Dq empty
+format.
+.Pp
+Using the
+.Dq raw
+handler together with any other handler will often work
+but can produce surprising results.
