mcfly: Search the history for a command, with 20 results.
$ mcfly search --results ${20} "${search_terms}"
try on your machine

The command you provided is:

mcfly search --results ${20} "${search_terms}"

Let me break it down for you:

  • mcfly is the name of a command-line program or script.
  • search is a subcommand or argument provided to the mcfly command, indicating that we want to perform a search operation.
  • --results is an option or flag that modifies the behavior of the search subcommand. In this case, it specifies the number of search results to be returned.
  • ${20} is a placeholder for the number of search results. The use of ${} suggests that this value is a variable that should be substituted with an actual number.
  • "${search_terms}" is also a placeholder, but for the actual search terms. The use of "" indicates that the value inside the double quotes should be treated as a single argument, even if it contains spaces or special characters.

To use this command, replace ${20} with the desired number of search results and "${search_terms}" with the specific terms you want to search for.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
