: This is a flag or option for therar
command, which indicates that you want to create a new archive.${path-to-archive_name-rar}
: This is the path to where you want to save the RAR archive file. You need to replace${path-to-archive_name-rar}
with the actual path and name of the archive file you want to create. For example,/path/to/archive.rar
.${path-to-directory}
: This is the path to the directory you want to include in the RAR archive. Again, you need to replace${path-to-directory}
with the actual path to the directory you want to compress. For example,/path/to/directory
.
In summary, this command will create a RAR archive named archive.rar
(or the name you specify) and it will include all the files and subdirectories from the specified ${path-to-directory}
.
