The command you provided is:
mate-search-tool --start --${select}=${value} --path=${path-to-directory}
This command is likely used in the Linux Mate desktop environment to search for files or directories in a specified directory. Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
-
mate-search-tool
: This is the command used to launch the search tool in Mate desktop environment. -
--start
: This flag indicates that the search should start immediately after launching the command. -
${select}
: This is likely a placeholder variable that should be replaced with an actual select option. For example, it could be replaced withfilename
to indicate that the search should be based on file names. -
${value}
: This is another placeholder variable that should be replaced with the specific value you want to search for. For example, if${select}
is replaced withfilename
, then you can provide the specific file name you want to search for using this variable. -
--path=${path-to-directory}
: This flag is used to specify the directory path in which you want to perform the search.${path-to-directory}
should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to search in.
So, overall, this command is used to start the Mate search tool and perform a search based on the specified select option and value in the given directory path.
