mate-screenshot: Create a screenshot with a specific delay in seconds.
$ mate-screenshot --delay=${5}
try on your machine

This command is using the "mate-screenshot" tool to capture a screenshot on a Linux system. The "--delay=${5}" option is specifying a delay in seconds before taking the screenshot.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "mate-screenshot": This is the name of the tool or command-line program being executed. It is responsible for taking the screenshot.
  • "--delay=${5}": This option is used to set a delay before capturing the screenshot. The value of the delay is taken from a variable called "5". The use of ${5} suggests that it is specifying the fifth argument or parameter passed to the command.

In a shell script or command-line environment, if you want to use a specific delay value, you would replace "${5}" with the desired numeric value. For example, if you want a delay of 10 seconds, you would use "--delay=10" instead of "--delay=${5}".
