xar: List the contents of a given xar archive.
$ xar -tf ${archive-xar}
try on your machine
The command "xar -tf ${archive-xar}" is using the xar command-line tool to list the contents of a .xar file.
Here's a breakdown of the individual components of the command:
- "xar" is the command that invokes the xar tool, which is used for creating, extracting, and manipulating .xar archives.
- "-tf" is an option provided to the xar command. In this case, "-t" is used to specify the operation of listing the contents (or table of contents) of the archive, and "-f" is used to specify the filename of the archive to be operated on.
- "${archive-xar}" is a placeholder or variable for the path or name of the .xar archive file. The actual file name or path should be provided here in place of "${archive-xar}".
So when you run this command with the appropriate .xar file specified, it will list the contents of that archive.
