zstd: Decompress to `stdout`.

zstd

$ zstd -dc ${filename}.zst

try on your machine

The command "zstd -dc ${filename}.zst" is used to decompress and display the contents of a file compressed using the Zstandard compression algorithm.

Let's break down the command:

"zstd" is the name of the command-line utility used for Zstandard compression and decompression.
"-dc" are two command-line options used with the "zstd" command. The "-d" option stands for decompression, and the "-c" option is used to write the decompressed output to the standard output (usually the terminal) instead of a file.
${filename}.zst represents the name of the compressed file you want to decompress. This is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the file. The ".zst" extension indicates that the file is compressed using Zstandard.

By running this command, the Zstandard utility will decompress the specified file and display its uncompressed contents on the terminal.
