pixterm: Render a static image directly in the terminal.
$ pixterm ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "pixterm ${filename}" is likely used in a terminal or command-line interface to display an image pixel by pixel. Here's a breakdown of each part:
- "pixterm": This is the executable or command that will be run. It may be a separate program or a script specifically designed for displaying images in the terminal.
- "${filename}": This is a placeholder variable that represents the name or path of the image file you want to display. You need to replace
${filename}
with the actual file name or path, including the file extension.
When you execute the command by replacing ${filename}
with an image file name, the program will read the image file and display it in the terminal, often using ASCII art or color codes to represent each pixel of the image. The specific appearance and functionality of the program may vary depending on the tool used.
