Add Binary Data to a ZIP Using AddBd

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the AddBd method to add binary data from a BinData object as a file entry within a ZIP archive.

The data is created entirely in memory, added to the ZIP as data/binary.dat, and then written to disk.

Rust

// Create a new ZIP archive.
let zip = chilkat::Zip::new();

if zip.new_zip("inMemoryData.zip").is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Create a BinData object containing binary content.
let bd = chilkat::BinData::new();

// Append some bytes as hexadecimal.
// The decoded bytes will become the contents of the ZIP entry.
if bd.append_encoded("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F", "hex").is_err() {
    println!("{}", bd.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Add the BinData contents as a file entry within the ZIP.
// The file will be stored as "data/binary.dat" inside the ZIP archive.
if zip.add_bd("data/binary.dat", &bd).is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Write the ZIP archive to disk and close it.
if zip.write_zip_and_close().is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("ZIP archive created successfully.");
