The command "pio platform search ${platform}" is a command used in the PlatformIO command-line interface (CLI) to search for a specific platform.
Here's a breakdown of the command's components:
- "pio": This is the command to invoke PlatformIO. It is used as a prefix to every PlatformIO CLI command.
- "platform": This is a placeholder in the command that should be replaced with the actual platform name you want to search for.
- "search": This is the action verb that tells PlatformIO to search for the specified platform.
So, when you execute the command by replacing "${platform}" with the desired platform name, it will search for that platform within the available platforms in PlatformIO. The search results will typically include information about the platform, such as its name, version, repository, and any additional details provided by the platform's maintainer.
