This command is using the software Inkscape to perform a series of actions on a specified SVG file.

Here's a breakdown of the command structure:

inkscape: This is the name of the software that is being executed.
${filename-svg}: This is a placeholder for the actual filename of the SVG file that you want to operate on. The actual filename should be provided in place of this placeholder when executing the command.
--select=path123: This option is used to select a specific element within the SVG file. In this case, the element with the ID or name "path123" will be selected.
--verb="${EditDuplicate;ObjectRotate90;FileSave;FileQuit}": This option specifies a sequence of actions to be performed on the selected element. Each action is enclosed in curly braces and separated by semicolons.

EditDuplicate: This action duplicates the selected element.
ObjectRotate90: This action rotates the duplicated element by 90 degrees clockwise.
FileSave: This action saves the modified SVG file.
FileQuit: This action closes Inkscape after completing the previous actions.

By using this command and replacing ${filename-svg} with the actual filename, you can duplicate the selected element, rotate it by 90 degrees, save the modified SVG file, and close Inkscape.
