atool: Create a new 7zip archive with two files.

atool

$ atool --add ${path-to-archive-7z} ${filename1 filename2 ---}

try on your machine

This command is using the atool command-line tool to add files to an existing 7z archive.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

atool: It refers to the atool command-line tool, which is a script that allows the user to manage various archive files effortlessly.
--add: It is an option or argument that instructs atool to add files to an archive.
${path-to-archive-7z}: It is a placeholder indicating the path to the existing 7z archive file. The user needs to provide the actual path and filename.
${filename1 filename2 ---}: These are placeholders indicating the names of the files that will be added to the archive. You can specify multiple filenames separated by spaces. The user needs to replace these placeholders with the actual filenames or paths of the files they want to add.

So, when executing this command with the appropriate values, atool will add the specified files (filename1, filename2, etc.) to the existing 7z archive (path-to-archive-7z).
