lrztar: Force overwriting of existing files.
$ lrztar -f ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "lrztar -f ${path-to-directory}" is used to create a compressed tar archive of the specified directory or file.

  • "lrztar" is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed.
  • "-f" is an option used to specify the input file or directory.
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory or file that you want to create a compressed tar archive of. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path, for example, "/home/user/documents" or "mydirectory/subdirectory".

So, when you execute this command with the appropriate path to a directory or file, it will create a compressed tar archive file containing the contents of the specified directory or file.
