GZip Tar Extract (.tgz or .tar.gz)

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to extract the contents of a GZip compressed Tar archive (.tgz or .tar.gz). Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const gzip = try chilkat.Gzip.init();
    defer gzip.deinit();

    // Ungzip and untar.
    const b_no_absolute = true;
    const untar_to_directory = "/temp/test";
    // bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
    // found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
    // contains a file with an absolute path such as
    // "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
    // be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe";
    gzip.unTarGz("test.tar.gz", untar_to_directory, b_no_absolute) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try gzip.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };
