lzop: Compress a file into a new file with the `.lzo` suffix.
$ lzop ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "lzop ${filename}" is used to compress a file or multiple files using the lzop compression utility. Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "lzop": This is the name of the command or utility that is being executed.
  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder indicating the name of the file or files to be compressed. The "${filename}" is a variable that should be replaced with the actual name or names of the files you want to compress.

When you run this command, it will initiate the lzop compression process for the specified file or files. The compressed output will typically have a ".lzo" extension and will be stored in the same directory as the original file(s).

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
