Functions

func Compress

func Compress(inputFilePath, outputFilePath string) (err error)

Compress creates a archive from the folder inputFilePath points to in the file outputFilePath points to. Only adds the last directory in inputFilePath to the archive, not the whole path. It tries to create the directory structure outputFilePath contains if it doesn't exist. It returns potential errors to be checked or nil if everything works.
