try on your machine
This command is using the "pigz" tool to list the contents of a Gzip compressed TAR archive file specified by the variable "${archive-tar-gz}".
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "pigz": It is a parallel implementation of the gzip compression tool, capable of utilizing multiple processor cores to speed up the compression or decompression process.
- "-l": It is an option to list the contents of a compressed archive instead of extracting them.
- "${archive-tar-gz}": This is a placeholder for the name of the TAR archive file in the Gzip compressed format. It is likely a variable that holds the actual name of the archive file.
When you run this command, it will use pigz to list the contents of the specified Gzip compressed TAR archive file. It will display information like file names, sizes, and other details about the files present in the archive.
