arduino: Save any (changed) preferences to `preferences.txt`.
$ arduino --save-prefs
try on your machine
The command "arduino --save-prefs" is often used in command-line interface environments to save the Arduino preferences. Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that allows users to create interactive projects.
When the "--save-prefs" option is added to the "arduino" command, it triggers the saving of preferences. Preferences in Arduino include settings related to the Board, Serial Port, Programmer, Compiler warnings, and more.
By running this command, any modifications made to the Arduino preferences will be saved, ensuring that the desired preferences are retained for future Arduino projects.
