The command "lrzip -l ${filename}" is used to display the details and information about the given compressed file specified by ${filename}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "lrzip" is the actual command that is executed. It is a utility program used for compressing files.
  • "-l" is an option or flag that is passed to the lrzip command. In this case, it stands for "list" or "list details".
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual name of the file you want to analyze.

When you run this command and replace "${filename}" with an actual name, lrzip will provide a detailed listing of the compressed file's information. This typically includes details such as file size, compression ratio, block size, dictionary size, and timestamps. It can give you an overview of the compressed file and its characteristics.
