This command is a combination of two separate commands: echo and boxes.

The echo command is used to display the value of a variable or any text on the terminal. In this case, the variable string is being displayed.

The boxes command is a program that is used to draw various types of text boxes around the given input text. It provides a visual way to highlight or separate text.

The | symbol represents a pipe in this command, which is used to redirect the output of the echo command to the boxes command. The boxes command will take the output of the echo command as input and draw a text box around it.

The ${string} and ${parchment} are variables that need to be defined before executing this command. ${string} is the content that will be displayed within the text box, and ${parchment} is the style or type of box used by boxes command.

So, overall, this command will take the value of the variable string, display it, and then draw a text box around it based on the style specified by the variable parchment.
