Dead simple zipping / unzipping C++ Lib
I didn't really wanted to make my own zipping / unzipping library but as I found nothing else, I made my own.
That's why I called this lib 11Zip, 11 is the atomic number of the sodium as it describes pretty well my salty feeling when searching for a zipping / unzipping C++ Lib.
By the same time it's also a reference to 7zip.
The lib is based on zlib & minizip : https://github.com/madler/zlib
It does also include some wrapper code from here : www.vilipetek.com/2013/11/22/zippingunzipping-files-in-c/
void elz::extractZip(std::string zipname, std::string target = ".");Unzips the content of a zip in "target" folder (which is current folder by default).
- zipname : Path to the .zip archive to unzip
- target : Path to the directory where you want to unzip the archive, defaults to the current working directory
void elz::extractFile(std::string zipname, std::string filename, std::string target = ".");Extracts a single file from a zip archive
- zipname : Path to the .zip archive to unzip the file from
- filename : Path of the file to extract within the zip archive, note that this name will be used by the unzipped file as well
- target : Path where to extract the file to, defaults to the current working directory
void elz::zipFolder(std::string folderName, std::string zipTarget = "");Zips the folder "folderName" to "zipTarget" (Which is "folderName".zip by default).
- folderName : Name of the folder to zip (will zip all of its content, root folder excluded)
- zipTarget : Path to .zip archive that will be created, defaults to
folderName.zip
