detox: Remove spaces and other undesirable characters from a file's name.
$ detox ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "detox ${filename}" is used to run the "detox" command with a specific parameter, which is the filename.

Detox is a command-line utility primarily used in Unix-like operating systems to sanitize filenames. It renames files by replacing certain special characters (such as spaces, non-ASCII characters, symbols) with their simpler, ASCII equivalents or removes them altogether.

In the command "detox ${filename}", ${filename} should be replaced with the actual name of the file you want to sanitize. This parameter specifies the target file which Detox will work on.

Executing this command will apply Detox's sanitization rules to the specified file, modifying its name if needed, and outputting the sanitized filename.

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.
