The command "cheat -s ${command}" is likely a command used in a cheat sheet program or tool. Here is a breakdown of the components:

  1. "cheat": This is the name of the command or utility used to access or manage cheat sheets. Cheat sheets are concise reference materials or notes that contain quick instructions or examples for certain commands, programs, or scenarios.

  2. "-s": This is an option or flag that is passed to the "cheat" command. The meaning of this flag may vary depending on the specific cheat program being used.

  3. "${command}": This is a placeholder representing a variable called "command". The actual value of the variable is expected to be provided by the user when executing the command. The variable "${command}" is used to specify the cheat sheet or command for which the user wants to retrieve information or examples. The user needs to replace "${command}" with the specific command or cheat sheet they want to access.

For example, if you want to get the cheat sheet for the "ls" command, you would replace "${command}" with "ls" like this: "cheat -s ls". This would retrieve the cheat sheet or relevant information for the "ls" command.
