ned: Search always showing colored output.
$ ned --colors '${^[dl]og}' ${-}

This command is using the ned utility with some arguments and options. Here's a breakdown of its components:

  • ned: It is the name of the utility or command being executed.
  • --colors '${^[dl]og}': This is an option for the ned command to specify the color pattern. It uses a regular expression pattern between single quotes. ${^[dl]og} is a regular expression that matches any word starting with 'd', 'l', or 'o' (case-sensitive). This can be used to highlight or colorize specific words in the output.
  • ${-}: This is a shell variable denoting the current command-line options set for the shell. The ned command is reading these options using ${-}.

Overall, this command is running the ned utility and configuring it to apply colors to words starting with 'd', 'l', or 'o' in the output. The ${-} shell variable denotes the current shell's command-line options.
