32.3 File Archiving Utilities
- Function File: bunzip2 (bzfile, dir)
- Unpack the bzip2 archive bzfile to the directory dir. If
dir is not specified, it defaults to the current directory.
See also unpack, bzip2, tar, untar, gzip, gunzip, zip, unzip
- Function File: entries = gzip (files)
- Function File: entries = gzip (files, outdir)
- Compress the list of files and/or directories specified in files.
Each file is compressed separately and a new file with a '.gz' extension
is created. The original file is not touched. If outdir is defined
the compressed versions of the files are placed in this directory.
See also gunzip, zip, tar
- Function File: gunzip (gzfile, dir)
- Unpack the gzip archive gzfile to the directory dir. If
dir is not specified, it defaults to the current directory. If
the gzfile is a directory, all files in the directory will be
recursively gunzipped.

- Function File: entries = tar (tarfile, files, root)
- Pack files files into the TAR archive tarfile. The
list of files must be a string or a cell array of strings.
The optional argument root changes the relative path of files from the current directory.
If an output argument is requested the entries in the archive are returned in a cell array.
See also untar, gzip, gunzip, zip, unzip
- Function File: untar (tarfile, dir)
- Unpack the TAR archive tarfile to the directory dir.
If dir is not specified, it defaults to the current directory.

- Function File: entries = zip (zipfile, files)
- Function File: entries = zip (zipfile, files, rootdir)
- Compress the list of files and/or directories specified in files
into the archive zipfiles in the same directory. If rootdir
is defined the files is located relative to rootdir rather
than the current directory
See also unzip,tar
- Function File: unzip (zipfile, dir)
- Unpack the ZIP archive zipfile to the directory dir.
If dir is not specified, it defaults to the current directory.
See also unpack, bzip2, bunzip2, tar, untar, gzip, gunzip, zip
- Function File: pack ()
- This function is provided for compatibility with Matlab, but it doesn't actually do anything.
- Function File: files = unpack (file, dir)
- Function File: files = unpack (file, dir, filetype)
- Unpack the archive file based on its extension to the directory
dir. If file is a cellstr, then all files will be
handled individually. If dir is not specified, it defaults to
the current directory. It returns a list of files
unpacked. If a directory is in the file list, then the
filetype to unpack must also be specified.
The files includes the entire path to the output files.
