html5validator: Output the log at a specific verbosity level.
$ html5validator --root ${path-to-directory} --log ${select}
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the "html5validator" command-line tool, with a couple of options:

  1. --root ${path-to-directory}: This option specifies the root directory (or path) where the HTML files to be validated are located. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to your directory. The tool will search for HTML files in this directory and its subdirectories for validation.

  2. --log ${select}: This option specifies the type of log output you want from the validation process. You need to replace ${select} with the desired log selection. It could be "quiet" to display no output, "default" to show basic output, or "all" to display detailed output.

By running this command, the "html5validator" tool will scan the HTML files in the specified directory and provide a log output based on your chosen log selection. It helps in validating HTML files against the HTML5 specification and producing information about any errors or warnings encountered during the process.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
