inkmake: Specify a custom Inkscape binary to use as the backend.
$ inkmake --inkscape ${-Applications-Inkscape-app-Contents-Resources-bin-inkscape} ${path-to-Inkfile}
try on your machine

This command is using the "inkmake" tool to convert an Inkfile into another file format using Inkscape software.

Let's break down the command:

  • "inkmake" is the command or tool being executed. It is likely a custom tool or script designed to work with Inkfile conversion.
  • "--inkscape" is an argument or option used to specify the path to the Inkscape executable. This argument is followed by "${-Applications-Inkscape-app-Contents-Resources-bin-inkscape}", which appears to be a placeholder for the actual path to the Inkscape executable file. This would need to be replaced with the correct path on the system where the command is being run.
  • "${path-to-Inkfile}" is another placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the Inkfile you want to convert.

So, in summary, this command is using the "inkmake" tool with Inkscape to convert an Inkfile into another format, but the paths to the Inkscape executable and the Inkfile need to be provided for the command to work correctly.

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.
