     Add the file \var{name} to the archive. \var{name} may be any type
     of file (directory, fifo, symbolic link, etc.).
     If given, \var{arcname} specifies an alternative name for the file in the
     archive. Directories are added recursively by default.

-    the default is \constant{True}.
