p7zip: Skip some checks and force compression or decompression.

p7zip

$ p7zip -f ${filename}

try on your machine

The command p7zip -f ${filename} is used to forcefully compress or archive a file using the p7zip utility.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

p7zip is a command-line file archiver that supports the 7z file format. It can compress, decompress, and manipulate archives.
-f is an option in p7zip used to force compression or overwrite an existing archive file with the same name.
${filename} is a placeholder that represents the name of the file that you want to compress or archive. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual name of the file or provide the appropriate variable name containing the file name.

So, when you run the p7zip -f ${filename} command, it will use the p7zip utility to forcefully compress the specified file and create a new 7z archive file. If an archive file with the same name already exists, it will be overwritten.
