$ glow -p ${filename}

The command "glow -p ${filename}" is a command line instruction that likely refers to the execution of the "glow" command with the "-p" option or flag, followed by the value of the ${filename} variable.

  • "glow" refers to a specific command or program that should be installed on the system.
  • The "-p" flag, passed as an argument to the "glow" command, likely stands for "preview" or similar, indicating that the command will be used to preview or display a file.
  • ${filename} is a placeholder for the actual name of the file that needs to be previewed.

To properly use this command, you must replace ${filename} with the name of a file or its path on your system. Once the command is executed, the "glow" program will display a preview of the specified file in the command line interface or a separate window, depending on its functionality.
