expand: Uncompress a single-file Cabinet file to the specified directory.
$ expand ${path\to\file-cab} ${path\to\directory}
try on your machine
The command "expand ${path\to\file-cab} ${path\to\directory}" is a command-line instruction that expands a cabinet (.cab) file and extracts its contents to a specific directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "expand" is the command being executed. It is used to expand compressed files or Cabinet (.cab) files.
- "${path\to\file-cab}" represents the path to the cabinet file that you want to extract. You need to replace "${path\to\file-cab}" with the actual file path and name, including the extension (.cab).
- "${path\to\directory}" represents the path to the directory where you want to extract the contents of the cabinet file. You need to replace "${path\to\directory}" with the actual directory path.
When you run the command, the specified cabinet file will be decompressed, and its contents will be extracted to the provided directory.
