try on your machine

This command is using the "gnatprep" tool, which is a utility provided by the GNAT Ada compiler. It is used to perform preprocessing tasks on Ada source files.

The command has the following format:

gnatprep -D${name}=${value} ${source_file} ${target_file}

Let's break it down:

"gnatprep": This is the command itself, invoking the gnatprep tool.
"-D${name}=${value}": This is an option provided to gnatprep, used to define a macro or a preprocessor symbol. "${name}" is the name of the macro or symbol, and "${value}" is its value. You would replace "${name}" and "${value}" with the desired values for your specific use case.
"${source_file}": This is the name of the source file on which the preprocessing tasks will be performed. You need to provide the actual name of the file.
"${target_file}": This is the name of the file where the preprocessed version of the source file will be saved. Again, you need to provide the actual name of the file.

In summary, this command runs the gnatprep tool and specifies a macro or symbol to be defined, along with a source file and a target file. The gnatprep tool will perform preprocessing on the source file and save the preprocessed version to the target file.
