GZip Tar Extract (.tgz or .tar.gz)

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to extract the contents of a GZip compressed Tar archive (.tgz or .tar.gz). Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  final gzip = CkGzip();

  // Ungzip and untar.
  final bNoAbsolute = true;
  final untarToDirectory = '/temp/test';
  // bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
  // found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
  // contains a file with an absolute path such as
  // "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
  // be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe";
  try {
    gzip.unTarGz('test.tar.gz', untarToDirectory, bNoAbsolute);
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }
