mocp: Play or stop the currently queued song while MOC is in the background.
$ mocp --${select}
try on your machine

The command "mocp --${select}" is using the MOC (Music on Console) Player application to perform a specific action based on the value of the variable "select".

MOC Player is a command-line music player that allows you to play audio files from your terminal.

In this case, "${select}" is likely a placeholder for the specific action or option you want to execute. By replacing "${select}" with a valid option, you modify the behavior of the "mocp" command.

For example, if you substitute "${select}" with "play", the command "mocp --play" will instruct MOC Player to start playing the current audio file. Similarly, if you replace "${select}" with "stop", the command "mocp --stop" will stop the playback.

The actual action performed by this command depends on the value assigned to the "select" variable.
