avrdude: List available AVR programmers.
$ avrdude -c \?
try on your machine

The command "avrdude -c \?" is used to invoke a utility called "avrdude" that is used to interact with microcontrollers (specifically AVR microcontrollers) for programming and debugging purposes.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "avrdude": This is the name of the utility program that is being executed. It stands for "AVR Downloader/UploaDEr" and is commonly used to program and configure AVR microcontrollers.

  • "-c": This flag specifies the type of programmer or communication protocol being used with the microcontroller. In this case, the "\?" argument is used as the programmer identifier.

  • "\?": This argument is specific to avrdude and is used to list the available programmers or communication protocols supported by the utility. When used in the command line, it will display a list of programmer types that can be used with the avrdude program.

So, if you run the command "avrdude -c \?", it will provide you with a list of programmer types that can be used with avrdude.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
