dex: Create a DesktopEntry for a program in the current directory.

$ dex --create ${filename-desktop}

try on your machine

The command "dex --create ${filename-desktop}" is a command used in the context of the Android DevTools Dex (Dalvik Executable) command-line tool. It is commonly used to convert one or more Java class files into a single Dalvik Executable (.dex) file, which is the format used by the Android runtime environment.

Specifically, the "--create" option is used with the "dex" command to create a Dex file. The "${filename-desktop}" variable represents the name of the input file(s) or directory containing the Java class files that you want to convert into a Dex file. This variable should be replaced with the actual file name or directory path.

In summary, this command instructs the Dex tool to create a Dex file from Java class files, using the specified file or directory name as the input.
