curl: Download a file, saving the output under the filename indicated by the URL.
$ curl --remote-name ${http:--example-com-filename}
try on your machine
The command is using the curl utility to perform an HTTP request and download a file from a specific location.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
curl: This is the command-line tool used to make requests to URLs and retrieve or send data.--remote-name: This option tellscurlto save the downloaded file with the same name as it is on the remote server.
The ${http:--example-com-filename} part appears to be a placeholder or a variable that should be replaced with an actual URL. If it is a variable, its value should contain the URL of the file to be downloaded. The variable could be defined elsewhere in the script or command.
For example, if the value of ${http:--example-com-filename} is https://example.com/file.txt, the command will download the file located at that URL and save it with the name file.txt in the current working directory.
