The command "wq" is a combination of two separate commands "w" and "q" used in the vi (visual) text editor.

  • "w" stands for "write" and it is used to save changes made to the file.
  • "q" stands for "quit" and it is used to exit the text editor.

The combination "wq" is used to save the changes and exit the editor at the same time.

So, when you run the command "wq" and press the key, it will save any changes made to the file and close the vi text editor.
