The command "astyle ${source_file}" is used to format the source code in a specific file using the "astyle" tool.

"astyle" is a tool that can be used to automatically format source code in various programming languages to adhere to a specified coding style or indentation rules. It can be particularly useful for making code more readable and consistent.
"${source_file}" is a placeholder for the actual file name or path of the source code file that needs to be formatted. When executing the command, you need to replace "${source_file}" with the appropriate file name or path of the file you want to format.

By running this command, the "astyle" tool will process the specified source code file and apply the defined formatting rules to it, potentially modifying the original file.
