atool: List files in a zip archive.
$ atool --list ${path-to-archive-zip}
try on your machine
The command atool --list ${path-to-archive-zip}
is using the atool
utility to list the contents of a specified archive file (in this case, a ZIP archive).
Here's a breakdown of the command:
atool
: This is the command-line program being used.atool
is a tool for managing file archives in various formats.--list
: This is an option provided byatool
which tells it to list the contents of an archive file.${path-to-archive-zip}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path to the ZIP archive you want to list. It specifies the location of the archive file.
To use this command, you need to replace ${path-to-archive-zip}
with the actual path to the ZIP archive you wish to list. For example, if your ZIP archive is located in the /home/user/archive.zip
directory, you would use the following command:
atool --list /home/user/archive.zip
Executing this command will result in atool
displaying the files and directories contained within the specified ZIP archive.
