mat2: Remove metadata from a file and print detailed output to the console.
$ mat2 --verbose ${filename}
try on your machine

The command you provided is "mat2 --verbose ${filename}". This command is used to execute the "mat2" tool, a metadata removal tool for various file formats, with the "--verbose" option. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "mat2": This is the name of the tool or command being executed.
  • "--verbose": This is an option or flag passed to the "mat2" command. In this case, "--verbose" is used to enable verbose or detailed output, providing more information on the process being performed.
  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder for the actual filename or file path that you would provide as an argument to the command. It is expected that you replace "${filename}" with the actual filename or path of the file you want to process.

So, when you run this command by replacing "${filename}" with the actual file's name or path, the "mat2" tool will be executed, and it will generate verbose output while performing metadata removal on the specified file.

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.
