unar: Force skip if files to be unpacked already exist.
$ unar -s ${archive}
try on your machine

The command "unar -s ${archive}" is used to extract the contents of an archive file.

Here's an explanation of each component:

  • "unar": This is the command-line tool for extracting files from various archive formats.
  • "-s": This is an option that stands for "silent" or "quiet." It instructs the tool to suppress any output or progress information during the extraction process.
  • "${archive}": This is a placeholder variable, denoted by the "${}". It represents the name or path of the archive file you want to extract.

By running this command and replacing "${archive}" with the actual name or path of your desired archive file, you can extract its contents without any output or progress information being displayed.

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.
