The command "playerctl previous" is used to control media playback on a Linux system.
playerctl is a command-line utility that allows you to control media players that are running on your system. It can be used to manage playback functions such as play, pause, next, previous, and so on.
The "previous" option in the command tells playerctl to go to the previous track in the current playlist or media queue. It instructs the media player to play the previous song or video in the list of available media files.
By executing this command, you can switch to the previous track being played in your media player.
