expand: Display the list of files in a source Cabinet file.
$ expand ${path\to\file-cab} ${path\to\directory} -d
try on your machine
The command "expand ${path\to\file-cab} ${path\to\directory} -d" is used to extract the contents of a Microsoft Cabinet (CAB) file into a specified directory.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "expand" is the command to expand or extract the files from the CAB archive.
- "${path\to\file-cab}" represents the path to the CAB file that you want to extract. You need to replace "${path\to\file-cab}" with the actual path to the CAB file on your system.
- "${path\to\directory}" represents the path to the directory where you want to extract the files. You need to replace "${path\to\directory}" with the actual destination directory path.
- "-d" is an optional flag that indicates that the files should be extracted to the specified directory.
Make sure to replace the placeholder paths with the actual paths of the CAB file and the destination directory in order for the command to work correctly.
