explorer: Open Windows Explorer in a specific directory.
$ explorer ${path\to\directory}
try on your machine
The command "explorer ${path\to\directory}" is not a valid command syntax in any operating system or programming language.
It appears to be a placeholder or template command, where "${path\to\directory}" is meant to represent the actual path or directory you want to open in the file explorer. However, it uses an incorrect syntax with mixed characters like "$", "\", and "{ }".
To open a directory in the file explorer, the command would typically differ based on the operating system:
-
In Windows:
- The correct command to open a directory in Windows File Explorer would be "explorer C:\path\to\directory", assuming "C:\path\to\directory" is the actual path you want to open.
- The "explorer" command is used to open Windows File Explorer, and you provide the path to the directory you want to open immediately after that.
-
In macOS:
- To open a directory in Finder on macOS, you can use the "open" command, like "open /path/to/directory", where "/path/to/directory" is the actual path you want to open.
- The "open" command opens the specified file or directory in the default application, which is Finder for directories on macOS.
-
In Linux:
- In most Linux distributions, you can use the "nautilus" command to open a directory in the graphical file manager.
- The command would be "nautilus /path/to/directory", where "/path/to/directory" represents the actual path you want to open.
- However, the file manager may vary based on your specific distribution, so the command might differ.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
