caja: Open specific directories in separate windows.
$ caja ${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---}
try on your machine

The command you provided is incomplete as it contains a placeholder "c${path-to-directory1 path-to-directory2 ---}". However, assuming you meant "caja ${path-to-directory1} ${path-to-directory2} ---", I can explain its general format and purpose.

The command starts with "caja", which is a file manager application typically found in desktop environments using the MATE or Cinnamon frameworks. "caja" allows users to browse and manage files and directories in a graphical user interface.

Following "caja", there are two placeholders, "${path-to-directory1}" and "${path-to-directory2}", which are typically replaced with the actual paths to two directories on your system. The "${...}" notation is commonly used in command-line interfaces to represent variables that need to be filled with specific values.

By providing two directory paths, the command instructs "caja" to open both directories in separate windows of the file manager. This can be helpful for comparing or moving files between two different directories.

It's worth noting that the additional "---" at the end of the command is not recognized syntax and likely a typo. It does not have any specific meaning in this context.

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.
