fg: Bring a specific job to foreground.
$ fg %${job_id}
try on your machine
The command "fg %${job_id}" is used to bring a background job to the foreground.
Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
- "fg" stands for "foreground" and is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to move a background job to the foreground.
- "%" is a prefix used to indicate that we are referring to a job by its job ID.
- "${job_id}" is a variable that represents the specific job ID that we want to bring to the foreground.
By executing this command, the job specified by the job ID stored in the "job_id" variable will be moved from the background to the foreground, allowing it to interact with the user directly on the terminal.
