phar: Display the contents of a Phar file.
$ phar list -f ${path-to-phar_file}
try on your machine

This command is used to list the contents of a Phar file. A Phar file is an archive format used in PHP for bundling libraries, applications, and other PHP code into a single file.

Here's an explanation of each component of the command:

  • phar is the PHP Archive command-line tool used to work with Phar files.
  • list is the subcommand used to list the contents of a Phar file.
  • -f is an option used to specify the file path of the Phar file you want to list.
  • ${path-to-phar_file} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path of the Phar file you want to list.

To use this command, you would need to replace ${path-to-phar_file} with the actual file path of the Phar file on your system. For example, if your Phar file is located at /path/to/my_phar.phar, the command would look like this:

phar list -f /path/to/my_phar.phar

Executing this command would then provide a list of files and directories contained within the specified Phar file.

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.
