I am wanting to implement in my app the ability to create
standard .zip archives. I have looked through the list archives
and read various things on the internet, but I'm rather confused :(
Thus far my research has uncovered to me:
zlib - pre-installed with OS X. Does not support .zip archives,
but there is add-on code to do it.
gzip - Also doesn't support .zip archives
info-zip - As far as I can tell, this is an open source command
line tool, rather than a library I can use.
So, what would people recommend for Cocoa use? Should I use NSTask
to have a command line tool handle the thing for me? Or should I
use a library like zlib? Or is there something better that I've
missed altogether!?
For what it may be worth, our Cocoa application uses the zlib that is
already installed on Mac OS X. I believe we have our own code that
creates .zip archives out of it and that we use zlib to do the
compression, but I'm not terribly familiar with that code so I may be
mistaken.
