babeld: Start babeld with multiple configuration files (read in order).
$ babeld -c ${path-to-ports-conf} -c ${path-to-filters-conf} -c ${path-to-interfaces-conf}
try on your machine

This command is invoking the "babeld" program with multiple configuration files. Let's break it down:

  • "babeld": It is the name of the program or command that is being executed.
  • "-c ${path-to-ports-conf}": This specifies the path to the configuration file for defining the ports or network interfaces that babeld will use. ${path-to-ports-conf} refers to a placeholder for the actual path on your system.
  • "-c ${path-to-filters-conf}": This specifies the path to the configuration file containing the filters or rules to be applied by babeld. Again, ${path-to-filters-conf} represents the actual path to the file.
  • "-c ${path-to-interfaces-conf}": This specifies the path to the configuration file for defining the network interfaces and their properties that babeld will utilize. ${path-to-interfaces-conf} is a placeholder for the path.

In summary, this command is running the babeld program and providing three separate configuration files to customize its behavior related to ports, filters, and network interfaces.

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.
