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

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

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var gzip = new CkGzip();

// Ungzip and untar.
var bNoAbsolute = true;
var 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) {
    console.log(gzip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}
