$ catimg -t ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "catimg -t ${filename}" is used to display an image file in the terminal using the catimg program. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "catimg" is the name of the program or command-line tool that is being called.
  • "-t" is an option or flag that is being passed to the catimg program. This specific flag stands for "transparency" and is used to display images with transparent backgrounds correctly.
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the image file you want to display. You need to replace "${filename}" with the name of the image file you want to view. For example, if you have an image file named "image.png", you would replace "${filename}" with "image.png".

So, overall, the command "catimg -t ${filename}" is used to view an image file in the terminal using the catimg program, with support for transparency.
