carp: Build a `carp` file.
$ carp -b ${filename-carp}
try on your machine

The command "carp -b ${filename-carp}" is a command-line command that uses the "carp" tool with the "-b" flag and a placeholder value for the "filename-carp" variable.

Here's what it means:

  • "carp" is the name of the tool or program being executed.
  • "-b" is a flag or option for the "carp" tool that instructs it to perform a specific action.
  • "${filename-carp}" is a placeholder for a variable called "filename-carp". The actual value of this variable will depend on the context in which the command is being used. It is typically replaced with an actual filename or a file path when executing the command.

In summary, this command is using the "carp" tool to perform an action specified by the "-b" flag, and it takes a filename or file path as an argument, which is represented by the "filename-carp" variable. The actual purpose or action associated with the "-b" flag and the meaning of the "filename-carp" variable will depend on the specific behavior and features of the "carp" tool.
