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). C#

bool success = false;

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

Chilkat.Gzip gzip = new Chilkat.Gzip();

//  Ungzip and untar.
bool bNoAbsolute = true;
string untarToDirectory;
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 = gzip.UnTarGz("test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(gzip.LastErrorText);
