The command pdflatex is used to compile a TeX document into a PDF file.
Here is an explanation of each component of the command:
-output-directory=${path-to-directory}: This flag specifies the output directory where the PDF file will be generated.${path-to-directory}is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the desired directory.${source-tex}: This is the path to the TeX source file that you want to compile into a PDF.${source-tex}is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the TeX file you want to compile.
Combining these components, the command pdflatex -output-directory=${path-to-directory} ${source-tex} tells pdflatex to compile the TeX document at ${source-tex} and generate the resulting PDF file in the ${path-to-directory} directory.
