lorem: Print 10 lines of Goethe's Faust.
$ lorem -l ${10} --faust
try on your machine

The command "lorem -l ${10} --faust" is executed in a command-line interface (CLI) or terminal environment.

Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:

  1. "lorem" - This is the name of a command or program that generates lorem ipsum text. Lorem ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in the graphic, print, and web design industry.

  2. "-l" - This is an option or flag for the "lorem" command, indicating that we want to specify the number of paragraphs we want in the output.

  3. "${10}" - This is a placeholder or variable that represents the value we want to provide for the number of paragraphs. In this case, the value is 10, but it could be any other number. The "$" sign is used to reference variables in many command-line shells.

  4. "--faust" - This is another option or flag for the "lorem" command. The specific purpose of this flag is not clear without more context, as it could be specific to the particular "lorem" command being used.

Overall, when this command is executed, it will generate 10 paragraphs of lorem ipsum text (assuming the "${10}" placeholder is replaced with the value 10) and potentially utilize additional features specified by the "--faust" flag.
