lzip: Decompress a file, keeping the archive.
$ lzip -d -k ${path-to-archive-lz}
try on your machine

The lzip -d -k ${path-to-archive-lz} command is used to decompress an lzip archive file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • lzip: This is the command used to work with lzip archives.
  • -d: This is an option specifying that the command is used for decompression.
  • -k: This is an option that tells the command to keep the original archived file after decompression.
  • ${path-to-archive-lz}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the lzip archive file that you want to decompress. You need to replace it with the actual file path.

By running this command, you will decompress the lzip archive specified, while retaining the original archived file in the process.
