Sets the corresponding format based on the common name.

archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext() archive_write_set_format_filter_by_ext_def() Sets both filters and format based on the output filename, optionally referring to a default extension if the supplied filename does not have a known one. Supported extensions: .7z, .zip, .jar, .cpio, .iso, .a, .ar, .tar, .tgz, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tar.xz
