doskey: Load macros from a file.

doskey

$ doskey /macrofile = ${path\to\macinit_file}

try on your machine

This is a command that is used in the Windows command prompt to define and load a macro file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"doskey" is a command in the Windows command prompt that enables the creation, modification, and execution of macros. Macros are predefined commands or scripts that can be assigned to short and easy-to-remember aliases.
"/macrofile" is an option for the "doskey" command that specifies the macro file to be loaded.
"= ${path\to\macinit_file}" is the value for the "/macrofile" option. "${path\to\macinit_file}" represents the path to the macro initialization file that you want to load.

By executing this command, you are telling the command prompt to load the macros defined in the specified "macinit_file", and make them available for use with their respective aliases.
