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++

#include <CkGzip.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkGzip gzip;

    // Ungzip and untar.
    bool bNoAbsolute = true;
    const char *untarToDirectory = 0;
    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) {
        std::cout << gzip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }
