figlet:tldr:81206
This command is executing two separate commands in sequence.
The first part, ${command}
, represents a placeholder for any command you want to execute. For example, if you want to run the ls
command, you would substitute ${command}
with ls
.
The |
symbol is called a pipe, and it redirects the output of the command on the left to be used as the input for the command on the right.
The second part, figlet
, is a command-line program that generates ASCII art from text. It takes the output of the command on the left (represented by ${command}
) and transforms it into ASCII art using the figlet
program.
For example, if you run the command ls | figlet
, it will list the files and directories in the current directory using the ls
command, and then convert that output into ASCII art using figlet
. The result will be displayed in the terminal as ASCII art instead of plain text.
