The command "kscreen-console json" is used to display information about the current screen configuration in JSON format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "kscreen-console": This is the name of the command-line tool that is used to manage and configure displays in the KDE Plasma desktop environment.
  • "json": This is an option or argument provided to the "kscreen-console" tool, specifying that the output should be in JSON format.

When you execute the "kscreen-console json" command, it will retrieve information about the current screen configuration (such as resolution, position, orientation, etc.) and display it in a structured JSON format. This output can be useful for scripting or automation tasks where you need to programmatically access or manipulate display information.
