asar: List the contents of an archive file.
$ asar list ${path-to-archive-asar}
try on your machine

The command "asar list ${path-to-archive-asar}" is used to list the contents of an archive file with the ".asar" extension.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "asar": It is the name of the executable or command used to interact with archive files with the ".asar" extension. "asar" stands for "Atom Shell Archive."

  • "list": It is a specific command or action that you want to perform using the "asar" command. In this case, the "list" command is used to list or display the contents of the specified archive file.

  • "${path-to-archive-asar}": It is a placeholder representing the actual path or location of the archive file you want to view the contents of. You need to replace "${path-to-archive-asar}" with the actual path to the archive file in your system.

By running this command in a terminal or command prompt, you will get a list of all files and directories present within the specified ".asar" archive file.
