fileicon: Set a custom icon for a specific file or directory.
$ fileicon set ${filename_or_directory} ${path-to-icon_file-png}
try on your machine

The command "fileicon set ${filename_or_directory} ${path-to-icon_file-png}" is used to set a custom icon for a specific file or directory on a computer system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "fileicon set" is the command that is being executed.
  • "${filename_or_directory}" represents the name or path of the file or directory for which you want to change the icon. You need to replace "${filename_or_directory}" with the actual name or path of the file or directory.
  • "${path-to-icon_file-png}" refers to the path of the icon file that you want to use. The icon file should be in PNG format. Again, you need to replace "${path-to-icon_file-png}" with the actual path of the icon file.

Overall, after executing this command with the appropriate parameters, the selected file or directory will have its default icon replaced with the custom icon specified by the given icon file.
