Asynchronously creates a tar stream that contains all the filesystem entries from the specified directory.
public static System.Threading.Tasks.Task CreateFromDirectoryAsync(string sourceDirectoryName, System.IO.Stream destination, bool includeBaseDirectory, System.Threading.CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
	static member CreateFromDirectoryAsync : string * System.IO.Stream * bool * System.Threading.CancellationToken -> System.Threading.Tasks.Task
	Public Shared Function CreateFromDirectoryAsync (sourceDirectoryName As String, destination As Stream, includeBaseDirectory As Boolean, Optional cancellationToken As CancellationToken = Nothing) As Task
	Parameters
- sourceDirectoryName
 - String
 
The path of the directory to archive.
- destination
 - Stream
 
The destination stream of the archive.
- includeBaseDirectory
 - Boolean
 
true to include the base directory name as the first path segment in all the names of the archive entries. false to exclude the base directory name from the entry name paths.
- cancellationToken
 - CancellationToken
 
The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is None.
Returns
A task that represents the asynchronous creation operation.
Exceptions
sourceDirectoryName or destination is null.
The sourceDirectoryName directory path is not found.
An I/O exception occurred.
The cancellation token was canceled. This exception is stored into the returned task.
Remarks
This method stores in the task it returns all non-usage exceptions that the method's synchronous counterpart can throw. If an exception is stored into the returned task, that exception will be thrown when the task is awaited. Usage exceptions, such as ArgumentException, are still thrown synchronously. For the stored exceptions, see the exceptions thrown by CreateFromDirectory(String, Stream, Boolean).
