lzip: Decompress a file, replacing it with the original uncompressed version.
$ lzip -d ${path-to-archive-lz}
try on your machine
The command "lzip -d ${path-to-archive-lz}" is used to decompress a file that has been compressed using the lzip compression algorithm.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "lzip" is the name of the command-line tool used to work with lzip formats.
- "-d" is the option/flag used to indicate that the file should be decompressed.
- "${path-to-archive-lz}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path and name of the lzip archive file you want to decompress.
For example, if you have an archive file called "archive.lz" located in the home directory, the command would be:
lzip -d ~/archive.lz
This will decompress the "archive.lz" file and produce the original file or files that were compressed into it.
