hyperfine: Change minimum number of benchmarking runs.
$ hyperfine --min-runs ${7} '${make}'
try on your machine

The command hyperfine is a benchmarking tool used to measure the execution time of a command or script. It runs the specified command multiple times and provides statistics on the runtime.

In this specific command, the options and arguments are as follows:

  • --min-runs ${7}: This option specifies the minimum number of runs to be performed. The value is substituted with the 7th argument passed to the command.
  • '${make}': The command or script to be benchmarked. It is enclosed in single quotes to ensure any special characters or variable expansions are not interpreted by the shell.

So, this command will execute the specified command or script (stored in the make variable) and run it at least ${7} times. The actual value of ${7} is determined by whatever value is substituted at runtime.

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.
