$ mh_metric --${select} ${path-to-output_file}
try on your machine

The command "mh_metric --${select} ${path-to-output_file}" is using the "mh_metric" command line tool with certain options and arguments.

Here's the breakdown of this command:

  • "mh_metric" is the name of the command line tool that is being invoked.
  • "--${select}" is an option or flag that is being passed to the "mh_metric" tool. The "${select}" part is likely a placeholder for a specific value or variable that needs to be replaced when executing the command. It could be something like "--metric" or "--type" followed by the specific metric or type you want to select for analysis.
  • "${path-to-output_file}" is an argument that specifies the path or location of the output file. This is typically where the result or analysis performed by the "mh_metric" tool will be stored or written.

So, by executing this command with the appropriate values or variables, you would be instructing the "mh_metric" tool to perform a specific analysis or calculation (based on the value of "${select}") and save the result to the provided output file location.
