mcs: Specify the output program name.
$ mcs -out:${filename-exe} ${path-to-input_file1-cs path-to-input_file2-cs ---}
try on your machine
The command "mcs -out:${filename-exe} ${path-to-input_file1-cs path-to-input_file2-cs ---}" is a command that is typically used in the context of compiling C# code files using the Mono C# Compiler (mcs).
Let's break down the command:
- "mcs" refers to the Mono C# Compiler, which is a compiler that is part of the Mono framework for running .NET applications cross-platform.
- "-out:${filename-exe}" is an option that specifies the name of the output executable file that will be generated by the compiler. ${filename-exe} is a placeholder that represents the desired name of the output executable.
- "${path-to-input_file1-cs path-to-input_file2-cs ---}" represents the paths to the input C# code files that will be compiled. ${path-to-input_file1-cs} and ${path-to-input_file2-cs} are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual paths to the C# code files that you want to compile. The "---" is just a placeholder to represent additional input files if you have more than two.
So, essentially, the command is telling the Mono C# Compiler (mcs) to compile one or more C# code files specified by their paths and output an executable file with the specified name.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
