make:tldr:2ccbb

make: Call a specific target, executing 4 jobs at a time in parallel.
$ make -j${4} ${target}
try on your machine

This command is using the "make" utility, which is commonly used to compile and build software projects. The "-j" option is used to specify the number of parallel tasks that can be executed simultaneously by make. In this case, the value is "${4}", which suggests that the number of concurrent tasks will be determined by the value of the fourth argument passed to the command.

The "${target}" part of the command specifies the specific target that make should build. A target can be a file, a section of code, or even a specific action to perform. The value of "${target}" is expected to be provided as an argument when running the command.

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.
