brotli: Decompress a Brotli file specifying the output filename.
$ brotli -d ${path-to-compressed_file-br} -o ${path-to-output_file}
try on your machine

The command you provided is used to decompress a file using the brotli compression algorithm. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • brotli is the name of the command-line tool used to perform compression and decompression using the brotli algorithm.
  • -d is an option for the brotli command that signifies decompression.
  • ${path-to-compressed_file.br} is a placeholder for the path to the compressed file you want to decompress. You need to replace it with the actual path to the compressed file, including the filename. The .br extension suggests that the file is compressed using the brotli algorithm.
  • -o is another option for the brotli command that specifies the output file.
  • ${path-to-output_file} is a placeholder for the path to the output file after decompression. You need to replace it with the actual path where you want to save the decompressed file, including the desired filename.

Overall, this command uses the brotli command-line tool to decompress a file ("${path-to-compressed_file.br}") and save the decompressed output to another file ("${path-to-output_file}").
