osascript:tldr:50d46
The given command is written in the macOS Terminal using the osascript
command-line tool. It executes AppleScript commands from the command line.
Let's break down the command:
osascript
: This is the command-line tool on macOS used to execute AppleScript commands.
-e
: This flag specifies that the following argument is an AppleScript expression.
${say 'Hello'}
: This is an AppleScript expression enclosed in ${}
. It invokes the say
command in AppleScript to make the computer speak the word "Hello". The ${}
syntax allows us to use a shell variable inside the AppleScript expression.
-e "${say 'world'}"
: Another AppleScript expression enclosed in ${}
. It invokes the say
command to make the computer speak the word "world".
To summarize, the given command uses the osascript
tool to execute two AppleScript expressions. The first expression makes the computer speak "Hello", and the second expression makes it speak "world".
