kreadconfig5: Read a key from a specific configuration file.
$ kwriteconfig5 --file ${filename} --group ${group_name} --key ${key_name}
try on your machine

The "kwriteconfig5" command is used to modify or read settings from the configuration files of KDE applications. Here is an explanation of the command and its parameters:

"kwriteconfig5": This is the command itself.

"--file ${filename}": This parameter specifies the name of the configuration file that will be modified or read. It uses the value of the variable "${filename}". You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file.

"--group ${group_name}": This parameter specifies the group (or section) in the configuration file to which the setting belongs. It uses the value of the variable "${group_name}". You need to replace "${group_name}" with the actual name of the group.

"--key ${key_name}": This parameter specifies the name of the setting (or key) within the group that will be modified or read. It uses the value of the variable "${key_name}". You need to replace "${key_name}" with the actual name of the key.

So, when you use the command "kwriteconfig5 --file ${filename} --group ${group_name} --key ${key_name}", you are instructing the system to modify or read a specific setting (key) within a specific group in the configuration file.

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.
