nms:tldr:44098

This command is a combination of two commands, ls -la and nms -a, connected through a pipe (|).

1. ls -la is a command used in Unix-based systems (such as Linux or macOS) to list all the files and directories in the current directory. The options -la instruct ls to display the results in long format, including hidden files and directories.

2. nms -a is not a standard command, so it's difficult to explain its specific purpose without more context. Generally, it appears to be a command that accepts input through standard input and performs some action accordingly. The -a option might be a specific argument for the nms command, but without further information, it's hard to determine its exact meaning.

The pipe symbol | is used to redirect the output of the first command (ls -la) and pass it as the input to the second command (nms -a). This allows you to chain commands together, enabling the output of one command to serve as the input for another command. In this case, the output of ls -la will be sent to nms -a for processing.
