mdfind:tldr:ead3d

The command "mdfind" is a command-line utility in macOS that is used to search for files and directories based on various attributes and metadata.

In this specific command, the variable "${query}" is being passed as an argument to mdfind. "${query}" is likely a placeholder that represents the search query or criteria to be used for the search.

When the command is executed, mdfind will perform a search on the file system and return a list of files and directories that match the specified query. The search results will depend on the criteria provided in "${query}", which can include attributes like file names, content, file types, creation/modification dates, etc.

For example, if you want to search for all files and directories containing the word "example" in their names, you can run the command: mdfind "example"

Note that the actual search functionality of this command can vary depending on the metadata indexes configured on the system and the available attributes for searching.
