: This parameter specifies the path to the item you want to invoke.${path\to\directory}

: This parameter is used to exclude specific items based on conditions.${*keyword*}
: This placeholder represents a keyword or pattern you want to exclude from the list of items. It should be replaced with the specific keyword or pattern you want to exclude. The asterisks (*) on both sides of the keyword serve as wildcard characters to match any sequence of characters.
