command: Execute the `ls` program literally, even if an `ls` alias exists.
$ command ${ls}
try on your machine

The command command ${ls} appears to be a syntax error as it tries to execute the command command followed by a variable substitution ${ls}.

In Unix-like systems, the ls command is used to list the contents of a directory. However, when used within the ${} syntax, ${ls} is expected to be a variable that holds a value or a placeholder for substitution.

Without more context, it is difficult to determine the purpose or intent of this command. It may be a typo or a mistake in the command, or it could be part of a larger script or command line where ${ls} is meant to be replaced with a valid variable.

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.
