Create Zip with utf-8 Filenames (Unicode filenames)

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to create a .zip archive that stores the filenames using the utf-8 character encoding. This allows for filenames of any language to be within a single Zip.

Note: utf-8 is the multibyte encoding for Unicode. When a Zip compression product declares that it supports Unicode filenames, what it really means is that it is capable of reading/writing utf-8. WinZip added support for Unicode (utf-8) filenames starting with version 11.2.

Rust

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

let zip = chilkat::Zip::new();

if zip.new_zip("test.zip").is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// To zip using utf-8 filenames, set the OemCodePage = 65001
zip.set_oem_code_page(65001);

let recurse = true;
let _ = zip.append_files("/temp/NonEnglishFilenames/*", recurse).is_ok();

if zip.write_zip_and_close().is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Zip Created!");
