ect: Compress a file with specified compression level and multithreading (1=Fastest (Worst), 9=Slowest (Best), default is 3).
$ ect -${9} --mt-deflate ${filename-zip}
try on your machine

The command "ect -${9} --mt-deflate ${filename-zip}" can be broken down as follows:

  • "ect" is the name of a command-line tool or program that is being executed.
  • "-${9}" is a parameter passed to the "ect" command. The value of this parameter is specified by the variable "9". The "$" sign indicates that it is a reference to a variable.
  • "--mt-deflate" is another parameter passed to the "ect" command. This parameter is likely an option or flag specific to the "ect" command which determines the compression method to be used.
  • "${filename-zip}" is another variable reference. The value of this variable is likely a filename or path that specifies the file to be compressed or manipulated by the "ect" command.

The actual meaning and purpose of the command can only be determined by understanding the specific functionality and options of the "ect" command itself. Without that information, it is difficult to provide a more detailed explanation.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
