The `tuckr` command is not a standard Linux utility. It's likely a custom script or alias designed to simplify archiving and restoring files using `rsync`. Given the name, it probably 'tucks' (archives) files away and can later 're-tuck' (restore) them. The exact functionality of `tuckr` depends entirely on its implementation.

Without knowing the specific script, assumptions can be made based on the likely use of `rsync`. Rsync is known for its efficient file transfer and synchronization capabilities, making it ideal for creating backups or archives. A basic `tuckr` implementation might involve creating a timestamped archive of a directory. A more sophisticated version could support incremental backups, allowing for space-efficient storage of multiple versions of a directory.

Restoring a 'tucked' archive might involve copying the archived files back to their original location, possibly with options to handle conflicts or overwrites. The implementation might involve options to specify source, destination, and exclude patterns.
