The "pinout" command is a command used in Linux to display the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pinout diagram of the Raspberry Pi or other compatible devices. It provides the details about the various pins, their functions, and their physical locations on the board.

The "-x" option you mentioned is not a standard option for the "pinout" command. However, it is possible that it is a custom option added by a specific implementation or version of the "pinout" command. Without more context or information about the specific implementation you are referring to, it is difficult to provide an accurate explanation of what the "-x" option does.

In general, command line options modify the behavior of a command. They are usually preceded by a hyphen (-) or double hyphen (--), followed by a letter or word. Options can perform various tasks such as enabling or disabling certain features, selecting specific output formats, or providing additional information to the command.

If you can provide more information about the specific implementation or context in which the "pinout -x" command is being used, I may be able to give a more specific explanation of what the "-x" option does.
