Regarding initrd image in Qt

[sarode]

Hello Everyone!

Do we have any option to extract initrd kernel image using Qt on Windows.
I tried using the GNU for win packages such as cpio, gzip and Unzip. Its working fine. But
if i need to use the same application in other Windows machine i need to install these additional packages to it.

Can anyone suggest me how i can do this extraction and compression of the rootfs using the Qt itself. (i mean any external Qt library / source).

Thank to all,
Sarode

Qt is linked against zlib. So you can use zlib functions from within your application to operate on archives.

Just curious: why would you want to extract contents of an initrd image on Windows?
