7zr: E[x]tract an archive preserving the original directory structure.
$ 7zr x ${path-to-archive-7z}
try on your machine

This command is using the 7zr utility to extract the files from a 7z archive.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • 7zr: This is the command-line executable for the 7-Zip tool.
  • x: This is the command to extract files from an archive.
  • ${path-to-archive-7z}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the 7z archive file that you want to extract.

So, when you replace ${path-to-archive-7z} with the actual path to your 7z file, the command will extract the contents of the archive to the current directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
