Split File into Chunks

Demonstrates how to split a file into chunks. C++

#include <CkFileAccess.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkFileAccess fac;

    //  Any type of file may be split.  It doesn't matter if it's
    //  a binary file or a text file.
    const char *fileToSplit = "qa_data/hamlet.xml";

    const char *partPrefix = "hamlet";
    const char *partExtension = "part";
    int maxChunkSize = 50000;
    const char *destDirPath = "qa_output";

    //  Splits hamlet.xml into hamlet1.part, hamlet2.part, ...
    //  Output files are written to the current working directory.
    //  Each chunk will be 50000 bytes except for the last which
    //  will be the remainder.
    success = fac.SplitFile(fileToSplit,partPrefix,partExtension,maxChunkSize,destDirPath);

    if (success == true) {
        std::cout << "Success." << "\r\n";
    }
    else {
        std::cout << fac.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
    }
    }
