The command "fortune -l" is a Unix command that is used to display a random quote or a fortune from a database of quotes or sayings.
The "fortune" command is typically used to generate a random message or a fortune, often humorous or thought-provoking, which can be displayed on the terminal. The "-l" option is used to limit the length of the fortune to a certain number of lines.
For example, if you run the command "fortune -l" with a limit of 10 lines, it will display a random fortune that is 10 lines or less.
It's worth noting that the "fortune" command may not be installed by default on all Unix-like systems, so you may need to install it separately to use this command.
