    \qmltype archiver
    \inqmlmodule QbsModules
    \since Qbs 1.4

    \brief Provides support for building archives.

    The \c archiver module contains the properties and rules for creating (compressed) archives.
    The output artifact has the file tag \c "archiver.archive". The sole input artifact is a text file
    containing the list of files to package, with one file path per line. The paths can be
    relative, in which case they will be looked for in \l{archiver::}{workingDirectory}. The file tag
    of this input artifact is \c "archiver.input-list".
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty stringList archiver::flags

    Custom options not covered by any of the other properties.

    \defaultvalue \c []
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::archiveBaseName

    The base name of the archive file. That is, the file name without any
    extensions.

    \defaultvalue \l{Product::targetName}{product.targetName}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::compressionLevel

    How much effort to put into the compression of a \c 7-Zip or \c zip archive.

    Possible values for zip are:

    \list
        \li \c undefined
        \li \c "0"
        \li \c "1"
        \li \c "2"
        \li \c "3"
        \li \c "4"
        \li \c "5"
        \li \c "6"
        \li \c "7"
        \li \c "8"
        \li \c "9"
    \endlist

    7-Zip only supports 0 and the odd numbers above.

    Higher numbers result in a smaller archive, but the compression process will
    take more time.

    If the value is left undefined, the default compression level is used.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::compressionType

    How to compress a \c tar or \c zip archive.

    Possible options are:

    \list
        \li \c "bz2"
        \li \c "deflate"
        \li \c "gz"
        \li \c "none"
        \li \c "store"
        \li \c undefined, which uses the archiver's default compression type.
        \li \c "xz"
        \li \c "Z"
    \endlist

    \defaultvalue \c{"gz"} for \c tar archives, otherwise \c undefined.
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::outputDirectory

    Where to put the archive file.

    \defaultvalue \l{Product::destinationDirectory}
    {product.destinationDirectory}
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::type

    Which kind of archiver to use.

    The currently supported values are:

    \list
        \li \c "7zip"
        \li \c "tar"
        \li \c "zip"
    \endlist

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::workingDirectory

    The directory in which to execute the archiver tool specified by
    \l{archiver::}{command}.

    \nodefaultvalue
*/

/*!
    \qmlproperty string archiver::command

    The path to the executable used to create the archive.

    This is usually the native tool corresponding to the archive type being
    produced, but may fall back to another tool also capable of producing that
    archive type if the native tool is not installed on the host system.
    This behavior is especially useful on platforms such as Windows, where the
    native tools for producing \c tar and \c zip archives in particular are
    much less likely to be installed.

    The following table lists the supported \l{archiver::type}{archive types}
    and the tools capable of producing them, listed in search order from left to
    right:

    \table
    \header
        \li Type
        \li Supported tools
    \row
        \li 7zip
        \li 7z
    \row
        \li tar
        \li tar, 7z
    \row
        \li zip
        \li zip \e (Info-Zip), 7z, jar \e (from Java JDK)
    \endtable

    \defaultvalue Depends on \l{archiver::}{type}.
