The command "forfiles /p ${path\to\directory}" is used to perform a specified action on files or directories within a given directory.
Here is a breakdown of each component:
- "forfiles": It is the command-line utility that enables the system to iterate through files and perform actions on them.
- "/p": It is an option used to specify the path or directory where the command should be executed. In this case, "${path\to\directory}" should be replaced with the actual path to the desired directory.
- "${path\to\directory}": This placeholder represents the actual path to the directory on which the command will act. It is recommended to replace it with the specific path you want to use.
Once executed, the command will search and process files or directories within the specified directory according to the action provided.
