nokogiri: Parse using a specific encoding.
$ nokogiri ${select} --encoding ${encoding}
try on your machine

This command is using the "nokogiri" command-line tool, which is a powerful library for parsing and manipulating XML and HTML documents in the Ruby programming language.

The command appears to have two variables: ${select} and ${encoding}.

  • ${select}: This variable is likely meant to specify the document or elements within the document that you want to select or manipulate. It could be a CSS or XPath selector expression, allowing you to target specific elements based on their structure or attributes.

  • ${encoding}: This variable is meant to specify the character encoding for the input document. Character encoding defines how characters are represented as bytes in a computer system. Common encodings include UTF-8, ASCII, and ISO-8859-1.

By using these variables, you can provide dynamic values at runtime when executing the nokogiri command. The specific purpose or action being performed by the command would depend on the context in which it is being used.

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.
