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 executingascii -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.
