60 | This module provides a few functions for creating archive files, such as | |
61 | tarballs or zipfiles. | |

68 | Create an archive file (eg. <code>zip</code> or <code>tar</code>). <var>base_name</var> | |
69 | is the name of the file to create, minus any format-specific extension; | |
70 | <var>format</var> is the archive format: one of <code>zip</code>, <code>tar</code>, | |
71 | <code>ztar</code>, or <code>gztar</code>. | |
72 | <var>root_dir</var> is a directory that will be the root directory of the | |
73 | archive; ie. we typically <code>chdir</code> into <var>root_dir</var> before | |
74 | creating the archive. <var>base_dir</var> is the directory where we start | |
75 | archiving from; ie. <var>base_dir</var> will be the common prefix of all files and | |
76 | directories in the archive. <var>root_dir</var> and <var>base_dir</var> both default | |
77 | to the current directory. Returns the name of the archive file. | |

90 | and the compression utility named by <var>compress</var> must be on the | |
