cut:tldr:15bc9

cut: Print a specific character/field range of each line.
$ ${command} | cut --${select}=${select1}
try on your machine

This command performs two operations:

  • ${command} represents a placeholder for a specific command that is to be executed. It is assumed that this command produces some output.
  • | is a pipe symbol, which is used to redirect the output of the previous command to the input of the next command.
  • cut is a command-line utility that is used to extract specific sections (columns) of lines from input. It takes options and arguments to specify which sections to cut.
  • --${select} is an option parameter that specifies the field delimiter. ${select} is assumed to be the value of the field delimiter.
  • =${select1} is an argument that specifies which section of the input to cut. ${select1} is assumed to be the value of the section to be extracted.

In summary, this command takes the output of ${command}, specifies the field delimiter as ${select}, and extracts the section specified by ${select1} using the cut command.

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.
