mate:tldr:bc789
mate: Open specific files.
$ mate ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine
This command seems to be written in the Bash scripting language and it possibly uses the 'mate' as a text editor or some other program.
The command is using a variable called 'filename1' which holds the name of a file. It is followed by 'filename2' which could also hold the name of another file.
The '${filename1 filename2 ---}' syntax is usually used to pass arguments to a command or program. In this case, it might be passing the 'filename1' and 'filename2' variables as arguments to the 'mate' command or program.
However, it's important to note that without more information about the context or the specific program being used, it's difficult to determine the exact purpose or functionality of this command.
