agate:tldr:c9009

agate: Run and generate a private key and certificate.
$ agate --content ${path-to-content-} --addr ${[::]:1965} --addr ${0-0-0-0:1965} --hostname ${example-com} --lang ${en-US}
try on your machine

The given command is using the agate tool and passing various command-line arguments. Let's break down the different components of the command:

  1. agate: It represents the name of the tool or program that is being executed.

  2. --content ${path-to-content-}: This argument specifies the path to the content directory. The ${path-to-content-} placeholder indicates that you need to replace it with the actual path on your system.

  3. --addr ${[::]:1965}: This argument sets the listening address of the server. ${[::]:1965} represents the IPv6 address (all interfaces, any address) using the IPv6 wildcard "::", listening on port 1965. It means the server will accept requests from any IPv6 address on that port.

  4. --addr ${0-0-0-0:1965}: This argument sets the listening address of the server. ${0-0-0-0:1965} represents the IPv4 address (all interfaces, any address) using the IPv4 wildcard "0.0.0.0", also listening on port 1965. It means the server will accept requests from any IPv4 address on that port.

  5. --hostname ${example-com}: This argument specifies the hostname for the server. ${example-com} is a placeholder that you should replace with your desired hostname.

  6. --lang ${en-US}: This argument sets the language for the server. ${en-US} represents the language code for English - United States. You can replace it with a different language code if desired.

Each argument modifies the behavior of the agate tool, allowing you to configure the server's content directory, listening address, hostname, and language.

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.
