pdf-parser: Display objects of type `/Font` in a PDF file.
$ pdf-parser --type=${-Font} ${filename-pdf}
try on your machine

This command is likely intended to be executed in the command line or terminal. Let's break it down:

  • pdf-parser is the name or path to the executable program being invoked.
  • --type=${-Font} is an option or flag passed to the pdf-parser program. It specifies the type of object to be extracted or analyzed from the PDF file.
  • ${-Font} is a parameter or placeholder for the specific object type, in this case, a font. The ${} syntax suggests this might be a variable being substituted with a value.
  • ${filename-pdf} is another parameter or placeholder representing the filename of the PDF file to be parsed. Similarly, this could be a variable to be replaced with the actual filename.

To summarize, the command is utilizing a program called pdf-parser to extract or analyze font objects from a PDF file specified with the variable ${filename-pdf}. However, without knowing the context and purpose of this command, the specific values of the parameters can't be determined.
