fileicon: Save the custom icon of a file or directory as a `.icns` file into the current directory.
$ fileicon get ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The fileicon command is a command-line tool that retrieves the icon associated with a file or directory.

The command syntax is as follows: fileicon get ${filename_or_directory}

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • fileicon is the command itself. It is a tool that helps manage file icons.
  • get is a subcommand that specifies the action to be performed, in this case, retrieving the icon.
  • ${filename_or_directory} is a placeholder that represents the name of the file or directory for which you want to obtain the icon.

By executing this command and providing the name of a file or directory as an argument, the fileicon tool will retrieve the associated icon, which can be useful for displaying file icons in a graphical user interface or providing visual representations of files and directories in a command-line interface.
