The command "unrar l ${compressed-rar}" is used to list the contents of a compressed RAR file. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "unrar": This is the command-line utility for extracting files from RAR archives.
  • "l": This is a command-line option that specifies the "list" operation, i.e., displaying the contents of the archive without extracting them.
  • "${compressed-rar}": This is a placeholder for the name of the compressed RAR file that you want to list the contents of. You need to replace "${compressed-rar}" with the actual filename and path of the RAR file you want to examine.

Overall, this command allows you to view the files and folders contained within a compressed RAR archive without extracting them.
