jar: List a .jar/.war file content.
$ jar tf ${filename-jar}
try on your machine

The command "jar tf ${filename-jar}" is used to list the contents of a JAR (Java Archive) file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "jar" is the command-line utility in Java used for working with JAR files.
  • "tf" is an option in the "jar" command. "t" stands for "table of contents" and "f" is used to specify the JAR file to work with.
  • "${filename-jar}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the JAR file. You need to replace it with the name of the JAR file you want to list the contents of.

When you run this command, it will display a list of all the files and directories included in the specified JAR file.

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.
