- "betty": This is the name of the program or script that is being executed.
- "unarchive": This is the action or task that the program or script should perform.
- "${archive-tar-gz}": This is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual name or path of the TAR file you want to unarchive. The ".tar.gz" extension suggests that it is a compressed TAR file.
- "to": This keyword is used to indicate the destination or target location.
- "${path-to-directory}": This is another placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual path or directory where you want the contents of the TAR file to be extracted to.
