Gzip a File

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to create a .gz (gzipped file). Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let gzip = CkoGzip()!

    // This will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
    // it will create "qa_data/hamlet.xml".
    success = gzip.compressFile(srcPath: "qa_data/hamlet.xml", destPath: "qa_output/hamlet.xml.gz")
    if success == false {
        print("\(gzip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Call CompressFile2 to explicitly specify the ungzip path
    // For example, this will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
    // it will create "hamlet.xml".
    var embeddedExtractPath: String? = "hamlet.xml"
    success = gzip.compressFile2(srcPath: "qa_data/hamlet.xml", embeddedFilename: embeddedExtractPath, destPath: "qa_output/hamlet2.xml.gz")
    if success == false {
        print("\(gzip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Success.")
