mk: Force mking of a target, even if source files are unchanged.
$ mk -w${target} ${target}
try on your machine
This command is using the "mk" command to create a file or directory with the name specified by the value of the variable "target".
Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
- "mk": This is the command itself, which is short for "make". It is used to create files, directories, or other objects in various operating systems.
- "-w${target}": The "-w" option is likely specific to the particular implementation of the "mk" command you are using. Without further context, it is difficult to determine its exact purpose. However, it could be a flag that specifies the type of object to create, such as a file or a directory. The "${target}" is a placeholder for the value of the "target" variable, which will be substituted when the command is executed. So, the option would be something like "-wfile" or "-wdirectory" depending on the value of the "target" variable.
- "${target}": This is the name of the file or directory to be created, which is specified by the value of the "target" variable. Again, the value of the variable will be substituted when the command is run.
Overall, this command is creating a file or directory with a name determined by the value of the "target" variable using the "mk" command, possibly with additional options or flags specified.
