unzstd: Decompress a file into a specific output file.
$ unzstd ${path-to-compressed-ztd} -o ${path-to-extracted_file}
try on your machine

This command is using the "unzstd" utility to extract the contents of a compressed file in ".ztd" format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "unzstd": This is the command that runs the "unzstd" utility, which is used for decompressing files compressed with the Zstandard compression algorithm.

  • "${path-to-compressed-ztd}": This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual path to the compressed file you want to extract. The file should have a ".ztd" extension.

  • "-o": This option specifies the output file path.

  • "${path-to-extracted_file}": This is another placeholder variable that should be replaced with the desired path and filename for the extracted file. This can be any location on your file system.

When you run this command, the "unzstd" utility will decompress the specified ".ztd" file and extract its contents to the specified output file path.
