gpg-zip: List the contents of the encrypted `archive.gpg`.
$ gpg-zip --list-archive ${path-to-archive-gpg}
try on your machine

The command "gpg-zip --list-archive ${path-to-archive-gpg}" is used to list the contents of a GPG-encrypted archive file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • gpg-zip: This is the program/command used to create and manage GPG-encrypted archives. It is a utility provided by GnuPG (GPG), which is a popular open-source implementation of the OpenPGP encryption standard.

  • --list-archive: This is an option/flag that is passed to the gpg-zip command to specify that the operation to be performed is listing the contents of an archive.

  • ${path-to-archive-gpg}: This is a placeholder indicating the path to the GPG-encrypted archive file for which you want to list the contents. You need to replace ${path-to-archive-gpg} with the actual path to the archive file on your system.

To summarize, when you run the "gpg-zip --list-archive ${path-to-archive-gpg}" command, it will use the gpg-zip program to list the files and directories contained within the GPG-encrypted archive file specified by the ${path-to-archive-gpg} parameter.
