The command "zlib-flate -compress < ${path-to-input_file} > ${path-to-compressed-zlib}" uses the zlib-flate command-line tool to compress a file using the zlib compression algorithm.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

zlib-flate: This is the name of the command-line tool being used.
-compress: This is an option that specifies that the input should be compressed.
< ${path-to-input_file}: The < symbol is used to redirect the contents of the file specified by ${path-to-input_file} as input to the command. In other words, it tells the command to read the file and compress its contents.
> ${path-to-compressed-zlib}: The > symbol is used to redirect the output of the command to the file specified by ${path-to-compressed-zlib}. This means that the compressed output will be saved to the specified file.

Overall, this command takes the input file, compresses its contents using zlib-flate, and then saves the compressed output to the specified file.
