grap:tldr:5a4d0
This command appears to be a Linux command that executes a series of operations on a file. Here is a breakdown of each part:
-
grap ${path-to-input-grap}
: This part executes thegrap
command on the specified file${path-to-input-grap}
.grap
is a language used for typesetting and graph plotting. -
| pic -T ${pdf}
: The|
symbol denotes a pipe, which redirects the output of the previous command to the input of the next command. Here, the output from the previous command is passed to thepic
command with the-T
flag indicating the output format as${pdf}
(a variable containing the desired PDF filename). -
| groff -${me} -T ${pdf} > ${path-to-output-pdf}
: Again, the|
pipe is used to redirect the output to the next command. Here, the output from the previous command is passed to thegroff
command with options specified by the${me}
variable and output format specified as${pdf}
. The>
symbol redirects the output of this command to the file specified by${path-to-output-pdf}
(another variable containing the desired output PDF file's path).
In summary, this command takes an input file in the grap
format, processes it using pic
, and then typesets it using groff
. The final result is saved as a PDF file specified by the ${path-to-output-pdf}
variable. The ${pdf}
and ${me}
variables likely hold specific values such as "pdf" and formatting options, respectively.
