$ cat ${file-json} | jello -l

This command is a pipeline of two commands: cat and jello.

  • cat is a command used to concatenate and display the content of files. In this command, ${file-json} is a placeholder for the name of a file. So, it will display the content of the file referred to by ${file-json}.

  • jello is another command that takes input from the previous command (in this case, the output of cat) and transforms it. The -l option is passed to the jello command, which likely tells it to perform some specific action or formatting on the input received from cat.

Overall, this command is used to read the content of a file (specified by ${file-json}) and then apply some sort of transformation or processing using the jello command.
