Does 7Zip SDK support also the container?

Question

I am doing a some research on 7Zip SDK and I haven't find any info about the container. Does 7Zip SDK have the LZMA algorithm only or does it support also the 7Zip container?

Zip, for example, keeps the directory structure at the end of the file, is 7Zip doing the same or something similar?

Answer 1

According to how to compres a Folder uses lzma sdk? in the 7zip SDK, we have two levels:

• LZMA compression - (over stream or buffer);
• .7z archive format - The .7z archive format does handle archive/directory features.

Found a very good 7zip C++ wrapper on https://bitbucket.org/cmcnab/sevenzip which is a very good example and works great!
