The command you provided is dget -d ${http:--deb-debian-org-debian-pool-main-h-haskell-tldr-haskell-tldr_0-4-0-2-dsc}. This command is used in a Linux terminal and it involves the dget utility.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • dget is a tool used in Debian-based systems to download and build Debian source packages.
  • -d is an option for dget which tells it to only download the source package without attempting to build it.
  • ${http:--deb-debian-org-debian-pool-main-h-haskell-tldr-haskell-tldr_0-4-0-2-dsc} is a placeholder representing a URL for a specific Debian source package. The actual URL will differ based on the package and version you want to download.

To use this command, you need to replace ${http:--deb-debian-org-debian-pool-main-h-haskell-tldr-haskell-tldr_0-4-0-2-dsc} with the actual URL of the Debian source package you want to download.

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.
