The command "atool --extract ${path-to-archive-tar-gz}" is used to extract the contents of a tar.gz archive file using the atool utility.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "atool" is the name of the utility being called.
- "--extract" is an option for the atool utility, specifying that we want to extract the contents of the archive file.
- "${path-to-archive-tar-gz}" is a placeholder representing the actual path to the tar.gz archive file you want to extract. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path before executing the command.
By running this command, the atool utility will extract the contents of the specified tar.gz archive file to the current working directory or a specified destination.
