The file path can be given as an absolute path or a relative path (resolved against the current working directory).

If no --file argument is provided, the command exits with an error.

If the specified file does not exist, the command exits with an error.

Examples

Print the tree of a tarball in the current directory:

Print the tree using an absolute path:
