set gzip [new_CkGzip]

# This will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
# it will create "qa_data/hamlet.xml".
set success [CkGzip_CompressFile $gzip "qa_data/hamlet.xml" "qa_output/hamlet.xml.gz"]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkGzip_lastErrorText $gzip]

    exit
}

# Call CompressFile2 to explicitly specify the ungzip path
# For example, this will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
# it will create "hamlet.xml".
set embeddedExtractPath "hamlet.xml"
