anki: Launch `anki` with a specific profile.
$ anki -p ${profile_name}
try on your machine

This command is an instruction to execute the "anki" program with a specific profile name. Here is a breakdown of each component:

  • "anki": Refers to the executable file or command name that starts the Anki application. It could be a standalone program or a script.

  • "-p": This option flag is followed by the profile name that you want to use when launching Anki.

  • "${profile_name}": Represents a placeholder for the actual profile name. This is where you need to provide the specific profile name you want to use. It could be a previously created profile or a new name that you want to give to the profile.

By executing this command and providing the appropriate profile name, the Anki program will start using the specified profile. The profile determines the settings, decks, and progress associated with a particular user or use case in Anki.
