Untar a .tar Archive

C# example code to untar a .tar archive.

        private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // The Chilkat.Tar class is a free Chilkat.NET class.
            Chilkat.Tar tar = new Chilkat.Tar();

            // Remove leading '/' or '\' characters when
            // untarring so that the directories created are 
            // relative to the untar root directory.
            tar.NoAbsolutePaths = true;

            // Set our untar root directory.
            tar.UntarFromDir = "c:/temp";

            // Untar into the UntarFromDir,
            // the directory tree (if it exists) is
            // re-created at the UntarFromDir
            tar.UntarFile("myProduct-1.5.tar");

        }
