 *
 * basic_archive.c
 *
 * This file demonstrates a basic archive library implementation that is
 * roughly equivalent to the following shell command:
 *
 * 		test ! -f /path/to/dest && cp /path/to/src /path/to/dest
 *
 * One notable difference between this module and the shell command above
 * is that this module first copies the file to a temporary destination,
 * syncs it to disk, and then durably moves it to the final destination.
 *
 * Another notable difference is that if /path/to/dest already exists
 * but has contents identical to /path/to/src, archiving will succeed,
 * whereas the command shown above would fail. This prevents problems if
 * a file is successfully archived and then the system crashes before
 * a durable record of the success has been made.
