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). Go

    success := false

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

    gzip := chilkat.NewGzip()

    // Ungzip and untar.
    bNoAbsolute := true
    var untarToDirectory string
    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 {
        fmt.Println(gzip.LastErrorText())
        gzip.DisposeGzip()
        return
    }


    gzip.DisposeGzip()
