The command "lolcat ${filename}" is a command that is used in Unix-like operating systems (such as Linux) to display the contents of a file in the terminal with colorful and animated text.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"lolcat" is the name of a software package or command-line program that adds rainbow coloring and animation to the text output. It is not a built-in command and may need to be installed separately.
-
"${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file you want to display. This is a variable that needs to be replaced with the actual name of the file. For example, if you want to display the contents of a file named "mytext.txt", you would replace "${filename}" with "mytext.txt".
So, when you execute the command "lolcat ${filename}", the lolcat program will read the contents of the specified file and display it in the terminal with colorful and animated text.
