The command "mc" refers to the Midnight Commander, which is a text-based file manager and command shell.
When you execute the "mc" command, it launches the Midnight Commander interface in your terminal. This interface provides a two-pane view, allowing you to navigate and manage files and directories easily. The left pane shows the current directory's contents, while the right pane can display a different directory or act as a temporary location for file operations.
You can use the Midnight Commander interface to perform various file management tasks such as copying, moving, deleting, renaming, and creating files and directories. It also offers features like file search, file permissions management, and file viewing/editing capabilities using an integrated editor.
Overall, the "mc" command provides a convenient way to manage files and directories efficiently through a text-based user interface.
