mk: Assume all targets to be out of date. Thus, update `target` and all of its dependencies.
$ mk -a ${target}
try on your machine

The command "mk -a ${target}" seems to be a Unix or Linux command, where "mk" is likely short for "make". Here is a breakdown of the different components:

  • "mk": This is a command that is used to create files, directories, or perform other related operations.
  • "-a": It is likely a command-line option that modifies the behavior of the "mk" command. The exact purpose of this option may vary depending on the specific context or implementation of the command.
  • "${target}": This is a placeholder variable that is being used to represent the target file or directory name. The variable is enclosed in ${} syntax, which is a common way to reference variables in shell scripting languages like bash.

Without more context or information about the specific implementation of the "mk" command and its options, it is difficult to provide a more specific explanation.

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.
