Bz2
Current Version: 10.1.0
Provides the ability to create and unzip .bz2 compressed files using the BZip2 compression algorithm.
Object Creation
set myBz2 [new CkBz2]
Properties
AbortCurrent
set boolVal [CkBz2_get_AbortCurrent $myBz2]
CkBz2_put_AbortCurrent $myBz2 $boolVal
When set to 1, causes the currently running method to abort. Methods that always finish quickly (i.e.have no length file operations or network communications) are not affected. If no method is running, then this property is automatically reset to 0 when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to 0. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)
topDebugLogFilePath
# ckStr is a CkString
CkBz2_get_DebugLogFilePath $myBz2 $ckStr
set strVal [CkBz2_get_debugLogFilePath $myBz2]
CkBz2_put_DebugLogFilePath $myBz2 $strVal
If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.
This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:
- a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
- the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
- there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.
LastErrorHtml
# ckStr is a CkString
CkBz2_get_LastErrorHtml $myBz2 $ckStr
set strVal [CkBz2_get_lastErrorHtml $myBz2]
Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
topLastErrorText
# ckStr is a CkString
CkBz2_get_LastErrorText $myBz2 $ckStr
set strVal [CkBz2_get_lastErrorText $myBz2]
Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
LastErrorXml
# ckStr is a CkString
CkBz2_get_LastErrorXml $myBz2 $ckStr
set strVal [CkBz2_get_lastErrorXml $myBz2]
Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.
topLastMethodSuccess
set boolVal [CkBz2_get_LastMethodSuccess $myBz2]
CkBz2_put_LastMethodSuccess $myBz2 $boolVal
Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of 1 indicates success, a value of 0 indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:
- Any method that returns a string.
- Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
- Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = 1 and failure = 0.
- Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.
Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to 1. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.
topUtf8
set boolVal [CkBz2_get_Utf8 $myBz2]
CkBz2_put_Utf8 $myBz2 $boolVal
When set to 1, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to 0 (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to 1, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to 0, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.
topVerboseLogging
set boolVal [CkBz2_get_VerboseLogging $myBz2]
CkBz2_put_VerboseLogging $myBz2 $boolVal
If set to 1, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is 0. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Methods
CompressFile
# toPath is a string
set status [CkBz2_CompressFile $inFilename $toPath]
Compresses a file to create a BZip2 compressed file (.bz2).
Note: Both inFilename and toPath should be relative or absolute file paths (not just a path to a directory). For example "someDir1/someDir2/myFile.txt" or "c:/someDir1/myFile.bz2".
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
CompressFileAsync (1)
# inFilename is a string
# toPath is a string
set ret_task [CkBz2_CompressFileAsync $inFilename $toPath]
Creates an asynchronous task to call the CompressFile method with the arguments provided. (Async methods are available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52.)
Returns NULL on failure
topCompressFileToMem
# outBytes is a CkByteData (output)
set status [CkBz2_CompressFileToMem $inFilename $outData]
BZip2 compresses a file to an in-memory image of a .bz2 file.
Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.
topCompressFileToMemAsync (1)
