mate-dictionary: Print a specific word definition.
$ mate-dictionary --no-window --look-up '${word}'
try on your machine

This command is calling the "mate-dictionary" tool with some additional options.

  • "--no-window" option: This option specifies that the tool should not open a window or user interface while performing the dictionary lookup.

  • "--look-up '${word}'" option: This option specifies that the tool should perform a dictionary lookup for the value of the variable "word". The "${word}" syntax is used to reference the value of the variable "word".

In summary, this command is invoking the "mate-dictionary" tool to perform a dictionary lookup for the value of the "word" variable, without opening a graphical window for displaying the results.
