The command "lolcat -t ${filename}" utilizes the "lolcat" utility with an option "-t" and a placeholder "${filename}".

The "lolcat" utility is a program that adds rainbow coloring effect to text output. It takes text as input and colorizes it, making it vibrant and eye-catching.

The "-t" option in this command is used to preserve the original formatting of the text file. It tells lolcat to retain the tabulations and indentation in the output.

The "${filename}" placeholder is used to represent the name of the file you want to colorize. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file you want to apply rainbow coloring to.

Overall, the command "lolcat -t ${filename}" will colorize the content of the specified file using rainbow colors while retaining the original formatting.
