phar: Compress or uncompress files and directories in a Phar file.
$ phar compress -f ${path-to-phar_file} -c ${algorithm}
try on your machine

The command "phar compress" is used to compress a Phar (PHP Archive) file using a specific algorithm.

Here is an explanation of the command and its parameters:

  • "phar compress": This is the main command that instructs the "phar" tool to compress a Phar file.
  • "-f ${path-to-phar_file}": This option specifies the path to the Phar file that you want to compress. "${path-to-phar_file}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual file path on your system.
  • "-c ${algorithm}": This option specifies the compression algorithm to be used. "${algorithm}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired compression algorithm. Some commonly used algorithms are "gzip" (for gzip compression), "bzip2" (for bzip2 compression), and "none" (for no compression).

By running this command with the appropriate file path and compression algorithm, you can compress a Phar file using the specified algorithm. This can help reduce the file size and optimize the performance of the Phar application.

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.
