7za: [l]ist the contents of an archive.
$ 7za l ${path-to-archive-7z}
try on your machine

This command is using the 7-Zip command-line tool, specifically the "l" (list) command, to display the contents of a 7z archive file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "7za": Refers to the executable file or binary for the 7-Zip command-line tool.
  • "l": Specifies the command to list the contents of the archive. This will show the files and directories contained within the specified 7z archive file.
  • "${path-to-archive-7z}": This represents the variable or placeholder for the actual path to the 7z archive file you want to list the contents of. Replace "${path-to-archive-7z}" with the full path to the desired 7z archive file on your system.

To use this command, you need to execute it in a command-line interface or terminal. Make sure to replace "${path-to-archive-7z}" with the full path to your specific 7z archive file, including the file extension.
