basenc:tldr:b493c
This command uses the output of the ${command}
and pipes it into the basenc
command with certain options.
-
${command}
: This is a placeholder for any command that generates some output. It could be any command that produces text output, such asecho
,cat
, or others. -
|
: This is the pipe operator, which allows the output of one command to be used as the input for another command. -
basenc
: This is a command-line tool that encodes or decodes data using various base encoding schemes. -
--base32
: This option specifies that the encoding scheme to be used is base32. Base32 is a binary-to-text encoding method that represents binary data using a 32-character set (A-Z and 2-7). -
-w42
: This option specifies the line width of the output. In this case, it sets the line width to 42 characters. This means that the encoded output will be wrapped to a new line every 42 characters.
So, the command takes the output of ${command}
, encodes it in base32 using the basenc
tool, and displays the result with a line width of 42 characters.
