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). React Native

import { Gzip } from '@chilkat/react-native'

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

  const gzip = new Gzip();

  // Ungzip and untar.
  const bNoAbsolute = true;
  const 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 {
    await gzip.unTarGzAsync('test.tar.gz', untarToDirectory, bNoAbsolute);
  } catch {
    console.log(gzip.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }
