unrar: Extract files with original directory structure.
$ unrar x ${compressed-rar}
try on your machine

The command "unrar x ${compressed-rar}" is used to extract files from a compressed RAR archive.

Here's the breakdown of each component:

  • "unrar" is the command-line utility used to extract files from RAR archives.
  • "x" is the command-line option that tells unrar to extract the files.
  • "${compressed-rar}" refers to the name or path of the RAR file you want to extract.

When you run the command, the unrar utility will start extracting the files from the specified RAR archive. The extracted files will be placed in the current working directory unless you specify a different destination.

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.
