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

The command "postcss ${filename}" is likely used to process a specified CSS file using the PostCSS tool.

PostCSS is a popular CSS post-processor that allows you to transform and enhance your CSS code, adding compatibility, optimization, and additional features. It is typically used as part of a build process to automate CSS processing.

In the command, "${filename}" represents a variable that should be replaced with the actual filename or path of the CSS file you want to process. For example, if you have a file named "styles.css" in the current directory, you would write "postcss styles.css" to execute PostCSS on that file.

The command will invoke the PostCSS tool and apply any configured plugins or transformations to the CSS file, generating an output file or modifying the existing one, depending on the configuration.

Make sure you have PostCSS installed and configured correctly in your project before running this command.
