lzip: List files which are in an archive and show compression stats.
$ lzip --list ${path-to-archive-lz}
try on your machine

The command "lzip --list ${path-to-archive-lz}" is used to list the contents of an lzip archive file.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  • "lzip" is the name of the command-line tool used for working with lzip archives.
  • "--list" is an option or flag used to specify that we want to list the contents of the archive.
  • "${path-to-archive-lz}" is a placeholder indicating the path or location of the lzip archive file you want to list.

To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-archive-lz}" with the actual path to your lzip archive file. For example, if your file is located in the home directory and named "archive.lz", you would use:

lzip --list ~/archive.lz

Executing this command will display a list of files and directories contained within the specified lzip archive.
