yaa: Create an archive with an 8 MB block size.
$ yaa archive -b ${8m} -d ${path-to-directory} -o ${path-to-output_file-yaa}
try on your machine

This command is invoking the "yaa" program with several options and arguments:

  • "yaa": It is the name of the program or command that is being executed.

Options:

  • "-b ${8m}": This option sets the block size to 8 megabytes. Here, "${8m}" is a variable that represents the size in megabytes.
  • "-d ${path-to-directory}": This option specifies the path to the directory that needs to be archived. "${path-to-directory}" is a variable that holds the actual directory path.
  • "-o ${path-to-output_file-yaa}": This option determines the path and name of the output file generated by the archiving process. "${path-to-output_file-yaa}" is a variable that contains the desired output file path and name.

In summary, this command is using the "yaa" program to create an archive of a specified directory, using a block size of 8 megabytes, and saving the result to a specified output file. The directories and file paths are represented by variables for flexibility and can be replaced with actual values when executing the command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
