Zip

See more Zip Examples

Zip a directory tree. Rust

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

let zip = chilkat::Zip::new();

let zip_path = "c:/temp/myFiles.zip".to_string();

// Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
let _ = zip.new_zip(&zip_path);

// Append references to files to be zipped.
let recurse = true;
if zip.append_files("c:/temp/files_to_zip/*", recurse).is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Write the .zip and close the zip file (and clears the zip object).
if zip.write_zip_and_close().is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Successfully created {}", zip_path);

// If the following files existed under c:/temp/files_to_zip

// c:/temp/files_to_zip/aaa/pigs.json
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/base64Cert.txt
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/hamlet.xml
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/hello.pdf

// then the zip we created would contain:

// aaa/pigs.json
// bbb/base64Cert.txt
// bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
// bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
// bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// hamlet.xml
// hello.pdf
