The given command is written in Unix/Linux shell syntax and is used for converting an input picture file to a formatted troff (roff) file.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
-
pic
: This is the command or program being invoked.pic
is a Unix utility used for typesetting diagrams and pictures. -
${path-to-input-pic}
: This part should be replaced with the specific file path of the input picture file that you want to convert. The${}
syntax is used for indicating a variable, so${path-to-input-pic}
suggests that it needs to be substituted with the actual path. -
>
: This is a redirection operator in Unix shell that directs the output of a command to a file instead of the standard output (the terminal). In this case, the output of thepic
command will be redirected to a file. -
${path-to-output-roff}
: This part should be replaced with the desired file path for the output roff file. Again,${}
syntax indicates a variable.
To use this command, replace ${path-to-input-pic}
with the actual input picture file path and ${path-to-output-roff}
with the desired output troff file path. Then run the command in a Unix/Linux shell to execute the conversion. The resulting troff file will be stored at the specified output path.
