postcss: Parse and transform a CSS file and output to a specific file.
$ postcss ${filename} --output ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "postcss ${filename} --output ${filename}" is used to run the PostCSS command-line tool with two parameters: ${filename} and ${filename}.

  • "postcss": refers to the command-line executable for the PostCSS tool.
  • "${filename}": represents a placeholder for the name of the input file to be processed by PostCSS. The actual filename should be provided when executing the command.
  • "--output": is a flag used to specify the output destination for the processed CSS file.
  • "${filename}": represents a placeholder for the name of the output file. As with the input filename, the actual output filename should be provided.

In summary, this command tells PostCSS to process a CSS file specified by ${filename}, and then save the resulting output to a file with the name specified by ${filename}. Note that the actual file names should be provided instead of the placeholders.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
