licensor:tldr:9b7b4

licensor: Write the MIT license with a [p]laceholder copyright notice to a file named `LICENSE`.
$ licensor -p ${MIT} > ${LICENSE}
try on your machine

This command appears to be a command-line instruction that involves two variables, "licensor", "MIT", and "LICENSE".

Here's a breakdown of this command:

  • "licensor" is used as the name or identifier of a command or executable file.
  • "-p" is an argument or option that is passed to the "licensor" command. It likely stands for "print" or "output".
  • "${MIT}" is a variable placeholder that holds the value "MIT". It is enclosed in "${}" syntax, which is commonly used to denote variables in shell or script languages.
  • ">" is a redirection operator, often used to redirect or write the output of a command to a file instead of displaying it in the console.
  • "${LICENSE}" is another variable placeholder that holds the value "LICENSE". It also uses the "${}" syntax.

Putting it all together, this command likely executes the "licensor" command with the "-p" argument and directs the output to a file specified by the value of the "${LICENSE}" variable. The "${MIT}" variable might be used within the "licensor" command to denote some kind of license or licensing information. However, without further context or details, this interpretation is speculative.

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.
