asar: Extract a specific file from an archive.
$ asar extract-file ${path-to-archive-asar} ${file}
try on your machine

This command is used to extract a specific file from an ".asar" archive. Here's what each component of the command means:

  • asar: It is the name of the command-line tool or program that is used to work with ".asar" archives.
  • extract-file: It is one of the commands or operations that can be performed with the "asar" tool. In this case, it signifies that we want to extract a specific file from the archive.
  • ${path-to-archive-asar}: This is a placeholder indicating the path or location of the ".asar" archive file from which the file needs to be extracted. You should replace ${path-to-archive-asar} with the actual path to the ".asar" file on your system.
  • ${file}: Similar to the previous component, this is also a placeholder representing the file that you want to extract from the archive. You should replace ${file} with the name or path of the file you want to extract.

To use this command effectively, ensure that you have the "asar" command-line tool installed on your system, and provide the correct path to the ".asar" archive as well as the desired file within that archive.
