gifsicle:tldr:c4a1c
This command uses the software "gifsicle" to create an animated GIF file from a set of input GIF files.
Let's break down the command:
${*-gif}
: This part represents the input file(s) for the command. The dollar sign followed by an asterisk (*
) is a wildcard that matches any character sequence. The -gif
at the end indicates that the input files should have a ".gif" file extension.
gifsicle
: This is the command to execute the gifsicle program.
--delay=${10}
: This option sets the delay between frames in the output GIF. The ${10}
represents a variable named "10" which contains the desired delay value.
--loop
: Indicates that the resulting GIF should loop continuously.
>
: This is the output redirection symbol, which sends the output of the command to a file instead of displaying it in the terminal.
${path-to-output-gif}
: This part represents the path and filename where the resulting animated GIF file should be saved. The dollar sign followed by a curly brace ${}
denotes a variable, and "path-to-output-gif" is the variable name in this case. You would need to replace ${path-to-output-gif}
with the desired path and filename.
So, when you run this command, gifsicle will take all the input GIF files matching the wildcard pattern ${*-gif}
, apply the specified delay and loop settings, and save the resulting animated GIF file to the specified output path and filename.
