The command "xar -xf ${archive-xar}" is used to extract the contents of a XAR archive file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"xar" is the command-line tool used to work with XAR (eXtensible ARchive) files. XAR is an open-source software package designed for archiving purposes.
-
"-xf" is an option that tells the "xar" command to extract the contents of the archive.
-
"${archive-xar}" is a placeholder variable that represents the name or path of the XAR archive file. You need to replace it with the actual name or path of the file you want to extract.
By executing this command, the contents of the specified XAR archive file will be extracted, and the files and directories within the archive will be recreated in the current directory.
