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, symbolic links (on Posix systems) and directories: other file types 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").
3. File names including
".." are silently ignored unless option
SYS_FLAT is used.
