The given command is using the "engrampa" command-line tool to extract files from one or more archive files. Here is the breakdown of each component:

engrampa: It is a file archiver utility for the MATE desktop environment, used to compress and decompress files and directories.
--extract-to=${path-to-directory}: This option specifies the destination directory where the files from the archive will be extracted. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory where you want the files to be extracted.
${path-to-archive1-tar path-to-archive2-tar ---}: These are the paths to one or more archive files (in TAR format) from which the files will be extracted. You can add as many archive file paths as needed, separated by spaces. Replace ${path-to-archive1-tar} and ${path-to-archive2-tar} with the actual paths to the archive files you want to extract files from.

For example, if you want to extract files from two archive files called "archive1.tar" and "archive2.tar" to the directory "/home/user/extracted_files", the command would look like this:

engrampa --extract-to=/home/user/extracted_files /path/to/archive1.tar /path/to/archive2.tar

Make sure to have the "engrampa" utility installed on your system before running this command.
