The ascii -o command is used to generate and display the ASCII representation of characters or a specified file. Here's a breakdown of the command components: - ascii: This is the main command that is used to generate ASCII characters.

  • -o: It is an option or flag that is used to specify the output format of the ASCII characters. So, when executing ascii -o, it will typically prompt you to enter characters or provide a file as input, and then it will output the corresponding ASCII representations of those characters or the contents of the specified file in ASCII format. The -o option can be accompanied by other parameters or options to further customize the output format, but without any additional parameters, the default format will be used.
