okular: Open specific documents.
$ okular ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine

The command "okular ${filename1 filename2 ---}" is used to open multiple files simultaneously with Okular, a document viewer for various file formats, particularly for PDF files.

Here's an explanation of the command:

  • "okular" refers to the Okular application.
  • "${filename1 filename2 ---}" is a placeholder for the actual filenames you would provide.
    • "${}" is a syntax used in bash scripting to reference variables.
    • In this case, it suggests that you should replace "filename1" and "filename2" with the actual names of the files you want to open.
    • The "---" denotes that you can specify more filenames if needed.

For example, if you have two PDF files named "document1.pdf" and "document2.pdf," the command could be written as: okular document1.pdf document2.pdf

By running this command, Okular will open both files simultaneously for you to view and navigate through.

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.
