try on your machine
The command "ouch decompress" is used to extract the contents of an archive. It takes two arguments:
-
"${path-to-archive-tar-xz}": This is the path to the archive file you want to decompress. In this case, the archive file is in the tar.xz format. Replace "${path-to-archive-tar-xz}" with the actual path to your archive file.
-
"--dir ${path-to-directory}": This is an option that specifies the directory where the contents of the archive should be extracted. Replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path to the directory where you want the contents to be extracted.
Overall, the command is used to decompress a tar.xz archive and extract its contents into a specific directory.
