Bz2 Go Reference Documentation

Bz2

Current Version: 10.0.0

Provides the ability to create and unzip .bz2 compressed files using the BZip2 compression algorithm.

Object Creation

Properties

AbortCurrent
func (bz2 *Bz2) AbortCurrent() bool
func (bz2 *Bz2) SetAbortCurrent(b bool)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

When set to true, 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 false when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to false. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)

top
DebugLogFilePath
func (bz2 *Bz2) DebugLogFilePath() string
func (bz2 *Bz2) SetDebugLogFilePath(s string)

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:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

More Information and Examples
top
LastErrorHtml
func (bz2 *Bz2) LastErrorHtml() string

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.

top
LastErrorText
func (bz2 *Bz2) LastErrorText() string

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.

top
LastErrorXml
func (bz2 *Bz2) LastErrorXml() string

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.

top
LastMethodSuccess
func (bz2 *Bz2) LastMethodSuccess() bool
func (bz2 *Bz2) SetLastMethodSuccess(b bool)

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false 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 = true and failure = false.
  • 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 true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
VerboseLogging
func (bz2 *Bz2) VerboseLogging() bool
func (bz2 *Bz2) SetVerboseLogging(b bool)

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version
func (bz2 *Bz2) Version() string

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"

Methods

CompressFile
func (bz2 *Bz2) CompressFile(inFilename string, toPath string) bool

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 true for success, false for failure.
