ksh: Execute specific [c]ommands.
$ ksh -c "${echo 'ksh is executed'}"
try on your machine
This command is written in a shell scripting language called ksh (KornShell). The command is executed by invoking ksh
and passing the -c
flag, followed by a command wrapped in double quotes.
The command itself is ${echo 'ksh is executed'}
. Here's a breakdown of what it does:
${...}
is a syntax used in shell scripting to refer to a variable or perform parameter expansion.- Within
${...}
, we haveecho 'ksh is executed'
. This is a command to print the string'ksh is executed'
to the console.
So, when you run the ksh -c "${echo 'ksh is executed'}"
command, it will execute the echo 'ksh is executed'
command, and the output will be 'ksh is executed'
displayed on the console.
