The command "lrztar -p ${8} ${path-to-directory}" is using the "lrztar" tool to create a compressed archive file of a specified directory.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"lrztar": This is the name of the tool or command being executed. It is used to create GNU zip (.tar.gz) archive files.
-
"-p": This is an option or flag used with the "lrztar" tool. The "-p" flag stands for "preserve permissions" and it instructs the tool to maintain the original permissions of the files and directories when creating the archive.
-
"${8}": This is a placeholder for a variable. The value of this variable is provided through the command line when executing the command. In this case, it could represent any user-defined input or parameter necessary for the "lrztar" command.
-
"${path-to-directory}": Similar to the previous variable, this placeholder represents the path to the directory that you want to create an archive of. The actual value should be provided when running the command.
To use the command, you need to replace "${8}" with a specific value and "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the directory you want to create an archive of. Then execute the command to create a compressed archive file of the specified directory while preserving the permissions of the contained files and folders.
