natiny.resource.pack

natiny.resource.pack(input, output [, part_size [, key]]) -> ok

Writes a folder as index.pack plus numbered pack files while preserving resource names relative to the input folder.

Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
`input`	`string`		Non-empty folder path to read recursively
`output`	`string`		Non-empty folder path to create and write; may be the same folder as `input`
`part_size`	`number`	`0`	Maximum uncompressed bytes per numbered pack; `0` selects 1 MiB and values from `1` to `4095` are raised to 4096
`key`	`string`	`""`	Passphrase used to encrypt the packs; an empty string writes them unencrypted

Type	Description
`boolean`	`true` when the index and every numbered pack were written; `false` on failure or on an unsupported platform

local natiny = require("natiny")

if not natiny.resource.pack("data", "build/data", 0, "my secret") then
    error("packing failed")
end

Packing is supported on desktop platforms. It reports an error and returns false on Android, iOS and the web.
Empty files are skipped, and the complete input folder is held in memory during packing.
