Untar a .tar.gz (.tgz) GZIP compressed archive. Rust

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

// Untar a .tar archive.
let tar = chilkat::Tar::new();

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

if tar.untar_gz("/Users/chilkat/testData/tar/abc123.tar.gz").is_err() {
    println!("{}", tar.last_error_text());
