The command you mentioned is using a tool called codespell. Here is an explanation of the command and its options:

  • codespell is the main command that refers to the codespell tool.
  • --${select} is a placeholder referring to a specific option that should be provided. The actual option you need to use should replace ${select}. In this command, it seems like you should provide a specific option after --. For example, if you are required to provide --check-filenames, the command would be: codespell --check-filenames ${3}
  • ${3} is another placeholder that denotes an argument passed to the command. The exact value you should provide should replace ${3}. For instance, if you are supposed to provide a filename, the command might look like: codespell --check-filenames myfile.txt.
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.
