This command is using the "astyle" tool to format the code in a specific file with a desired level of indentation.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "astyle": This is the name of the tool or program being invoked in the command.
- "--indent=spaces=${number_of_spaces}": This is an option or flag being passed to the "astyle" program. It specifies the type of indentation to be used.
- "--indent" signals that we want to set the indentation option.
- "spaces=${number_of_spaces}" sets the type of indentation to spaces, and ${number_of_spaces} represents a variable that should be replaced with the desired number of spaces for indentation. For example, if you want 4 spaces for indentation, you would replace ${number_of_spaces} with 4.
- "${filename}": This is the placeholder for the name of the file that you want to format using "astyle".
So, when you run this command, the "astyle" program will be executed with the specified options, and it will format the code in the specified file with the desired level of indentation.
