yaa: Create an archive with a specific compression algorithm.
$ yaa archive -a ${algorithm} -d ${path-to-directory} -o ${path-to-output_file-yaa}
try on your machine

The command yaa archive -a ${algorithm} -d ${path-to-directory} -o ${path-to-output_file-yaa} is used to create an archive file using the yaa tool. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • yaa is the name of the tool or command being executed.

  • archive is the specific operation or task that yaa tool will perform.

  • -a ${algorithm} is an option to specify the algorithm used for compression or archiving. The ${algorithm} is a placeholder that should be replaced with a specific algorithm like gzip, bzip2, zip, etc. This option determines how the files will be compressed and archived.

  • -d ${path-to-directory} is an option to specify the directory to be archived. The ${path-to-directory} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory that you want to archive. This option tells yaa which directory it should archive.

  • -o ${path-to-output_file-yaa} is an option to specify the output file for the archive. The ${path-to-output_file-yaa} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired path and filename for the output archive file. This option tells yaa where to store the generated archive file.

So, when you run this command, the yaa tool will use the specified algorithm to compress and archive the contents of the directory specified by ${path-to-directory}. The resulting archive file will be saved at the location specified by ${path-to-output_file-yaa}.
