arduino: Set the preference `name` to a given `value`.
$ arduino --pref ${name}=${value}
try on your machine

This command is used to set a preference (configuration) value in the Arduino IDE.

The command "arduino" refers to the Arduino executable file or command.

The "--pref" flag indicates that we want to set a preference.

"${name}" and "${value}" are placeholders for the name and value of the preference we want to set. This means you need to replace them with the actual preference name and value. For example, if you want to set the "board" preference to "arduino:avr:uno", you would replace "${name}" with "board" and "${value}" with "arduino:avr:uno".

Overall, this command allows you to customize preferences in the Arduino IDE by specifying the name and value of the preference you want to set.
