7zr: E[x]tract an archive to a specific directory.
$ 7zr x ${path-to-archive-7z} -o${path-to-output}
try on your machine

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

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • 7zr: This is the command-line executable for the 7-Zip file archiver. It is used to work with 7z files.
  • x: This is the command option used 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. You need to replace ${path-to-archive-7z} with the specific file path.
  • -o${path-to-output}: This is a command option used to specify the output directory where the extracted files will be placed. ${path-to-output} is a placeholder for the actual path to the output directory you want. You need to replace ${path-to-output} with the specific directory path.

To use this command, you need to replace ${path-to-archive-7z} with the path to your 7z archive file, and ${path-to-output} with the path to the directory where you want to extract the files.
