$ csvlook ${data-csv}
try on your machine

The command "csvlook ${data-csv}" is likely used to display the content of a CSV file in a more readable and formatted way. Here's what each part of the command means:

  • "csvlook": This is the program or command used to format and display the CSV file. It is usually a part of the csvkit or similar toolset.
  • "${data-csv}": This is a placeholder or variable that represents the path or location of the actual CSV file. The "${data-csv}" is typically replaced with the actual file name or path when running the command.

When executed, the command will take the input file specified by "${data-csv}", format its content, and display it in a more structured and readable way on the command line or terminal. The output might include headers, columns, and rows aligned properly for better clarity.
