lualatex: Compile a Tex file with a specific output file name.

lualatex

$ lualatex -jobname=${filename} ${filename-tex}

try on your machine

This command is used to run the LuaLaTeX typesetting engine on a TeX document.

Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

lualatex is the executable for the LuaLaTeX typesetting engine.
-jobname=${filename} is an option for LuaLaTeX, where ${filename} is a placeholder that represents the desired name of the output file. This option allows you to specify a custom name for the output file instead of the default name generated by LuaLaTeX.
${filename-tex} is another placeholder that represents the input TeX file. This is the file that will be processed by LuaLaTeX. The ${filename} part is the actual name of the TeX file, and the -tex suffix specifies the file extension.

Combining all of these parts, the command instructs LuaLaTeX to process the TeX document specified by ${filename-tex} and generate the output using the specified job name ${filename}.
