helix: Open a file.
$ helix ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "helix ${filename}" is written in a format commonly used in command-line interfaces or shell scripts. In this case, it is using shell variable substitution syntax.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "helix": It is the name of the command being executed. It could be a specific program or script that is designed to perform a certain action.
  • "${filename}": The curly braces and the dollar sign are used for variable substitution. The variable "filename" is being referenced in this command. The actual value of the variable will be inserted in place of "${filename}" when the command is executed.

To understand the command's purpose or exact behavior, we would need more context. The "helix" command is likely designed to work with a filename that is provided as a variable, allowing the user to specify a particular file to be processed or operated upon.
