This command is using the khal utility to list events from a calendar. Here's a breakdown of the different components:

  • khal: It is a command-line calendar manager for Unix systems.

  • list: It is the specific command used to list events.

  • -a: It is an option that tells khal to display all events.

  • ${personal}: It is a placeholder for a calendar. The actual calendar name or identifier should be provided here. It could be the name of a specific calendar, such as 'work' or 'home', depending on what calendars are configured in khal.

  • ${today}: It is another placeholder representing a date. In this case, it is expected to be resolved to the current date.

  • ${7d}: It is a placeholder for a time duration. It represents a period of 7 days. It can be resolved to events occurring within the last 7 days.

Overall, this command is asking khal to list all events from the calendar specified as ${personal} that occurred today or within the last 7 days. The actual values for ${personal}, ${today}, and ${7d} need to be provided as arguments or as part of a shell script.
