This snippet calculates the size of a resource and prints it to the debug console.

-- Get the handle to the resource instance directory.
local resRoot = fileCreateTranslator( "/" );

-- Calculate the size of every file in it.
local fileSizeCount = 0;

local function fileIteratorSum( filePath )
    fileSizeCount = fileSizeCount + resRoot.size( filePath );
end

-- Iterate through the entire directory tree, including the sub-directories.
resRoot.scanDirEx( "/", "*", nil, fileIteratorSum, true );

-- Output the size to the console.
outputDebugString( "resource size: " .. fileSizeCount );
