unrar: Test integrity of each file inside the archive file.
$ unrar t ${compressed-rar}
try on your machine

The command "unrar t ${compressed-rar}" is used to test the integrity of a compressed RAR archive file.

Here is the breakdown of the command components:

  • "unrar" is the command-line program used to extract files from RAR archives.
  • "t" is a flag or option that stands for "test". It instructs the program to test (or verify) the integrity of the RAR archive file.
  • "${compressed-rar}" is a placeholder for the actual name or path of the compressed RAR archive you want to test.

When you run this command, the "unrar" program will check the specified RAR archive file for any errors or corruption. It will verify the consistency of the archive and report any issues it finds. This is useful to ensure that the compressed file is not corrupted and can be successfully extracted without any problems.
