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

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

#include <C_CkGzip.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkGzip gzip;
    BOOL bNoAbsolute;
    const char *untarToDirectory;

    success = FALSE;

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

    gzip = CkGzip_Create();

    // Ungzip and untar.
    bNoAbsolute = TRUE;

    untarToDirectory = "/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"
    success = CkGzip_UnTarGz(gzip,"test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkGzip_lastErrorText(gzip));
