carbon-now: Start at a specified line of text.
$ carbon-now -s ${line} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command you mentioned: carbon-now -s ${line} ${filename}

This command utilizes the carbon-now tool, which is used to take screenshots of source code and showcase them with syntax highlighting in a Carbon-like interface.

Here is an explanation of the command's components:

  • carbon-now: The primary command being executed. It is the executable file or script that initiates the desired action.
  • -s: This is an option or flag passed to carbon-now that specifies the starting line number to include in the screenshot. ${line} represents the desired line number, which could be a variable. This flag helps to create a focused screenshot including only a specific range of lines.
  • ${filename}: This represents the file name/path of the source code file that you want to capture as a Carbon-like image. It is another variable and can be replaced with the actual file name and extension.

Overall, this command takes advantage of the carbon-now tool and allows you to take customized screenshots of code snippets by specifying the starting line number and the file to capture.
