The command brotli -d ${filename-br} is used to decompress or decode a file that has been compressed using the Brotli algorithm.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

brotli: It is the name of the program or the command-line utility used for Brotli compression and decompression.
-d: It is an option that instructs the brotli command to decompress the file. -d stands for "decompress" or "decode".
${filename-br}: This is a placeholder representing the name of the file you want to decompress. The suffix -br suggests that the file is compressed using Brotli. Replace ${filename-br} with the actual filename (including the path if necessary) of the Brotli compressed file you want to decompress.

Overall, the command decompresses a Brotli compressed file, restoring it to its original state.
