Gzip a File

See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to create a .gz (gzipped file). Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

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

    const gzip = try chilkat.Gzip.init();
    defer gzip.deinit();

    // This will create a .gz such that when ungzipped by a tool such as 7-Zip,
    // it will create "qa_data/hamlet.xml".
    gzip.compressFile("qa_data/hamlet.xml", "qa_output/hamlet.xml.gz") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try gzip.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    // 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".
    const embedded_extract_path = "hamlet.xml";
    gzip.compressFile2("qa_data/hamlet.xml", embedded_extract_path, "qa_output/hamlet2.xml.gz") catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try gzip.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    std.debug.print("Success.\n", .{});
