Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Zip One File

Zip a single file. Rust

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

// Note: You may use either forward or backward slashes.

// Perhaps you want to include a path in the .zip such that when unzipping, a sub-directory
// is automatically created and the file unzipped into it.  Use PathPrefix:
