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

    let zip = CkoZip()!

    var zipPath: String? = "c:/temp/test.zip"

    // Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
    zip.newZip(zipPath)

    // AddEmpty is used when you wish to add a directory or empty file to the zip
    // such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
    // even if it contains no files.

    var dirFlag: Bool = true

    zip.addEmpty(dirFlag, pathInZip: "dirA")
    zip.addEmpty(dirFlag, pathInZip: "dirB")
    zip.addEmpty(dirFlag, pathInZip: "dirC")

    // Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
    zip.fileName = zipPath
