Example
The following creates an archive of the Xpress installation including only binary files:
findfiles(SYS_RECURS,lsf,getenv("XPRESSDIR"),"bin/*;lib/*;dso/*")
newtar(0,"xpress.tar",getenv("XPRESSDIR"),lsf)
Further information
1. This implementation processes only regular files and directories: other file types (like links) are silently ignored and not included in the archive.
2. By default file names are represented according the current system encoding in the archive. To select a different encoding use the
enc: file name prefix (see Section
Character encoding of text files) on the archive name (
e.g.
"enc:utf-8,myarc.tar").
