The command "close -a" is used to close all open applications on a computer system. When this command is executed, it sends a signal to each open application requesting it to close. This command is commonly used when a user wants to quickly exit or shut down all running applications at once, rather than manually closing each application separately. It can be helpful in situations where there are numerous open applications and the user wants to close them all quickly and efficiently.
