Untar a .tar archive. Swift

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

    // Untar a .tar archive.
    let tar = CkoTar()!

    var fileCount: Int

    // Untar into c:/temp/untarDir.  The directory tree(s) contained
    // within the TAR archive will be re-created rooted at this
    // directory.

    // If any filepaths within the Tar archive are absolute,
    // automatically make them relative by removing the first
    // forward or backward slash.  This protects from untarring
    // files to unexpected locations.
