The command "gs -dQUIET -dBATCH ${file-pdf}" is a command that runs the Ghostscript utility.
Here is a breakdown of the different components:
- "gs" is the command to invoke the Ghostscript utility.
- "-dQUIET" option suppresses the terminal output and displays only error messages.
- "-dBATCH" option tells Ghostscript to exit after processing the input file.
- "${file-pdf}" is likely a variable or placeholder that represents the PDF file to be processed.
In summary, this command is used to run Ghostscript in a quiet mode, without any terminal output, to process a specific PDF file and exit once the processing is complete.
