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

// Untar a .tar archive.
Chilkat.Tar tar = new Chilkat.Tar();

// Untar into c:/temp/untarDir.  The directory tree(s) contained
// within the TAR archive will be re-created rooted at this
// directory.
tar.UntarFromDir = "/Users/chilkat/temp/untarDir";

// 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.
tar.NoAbsolutePaths = true;
