pretty-bytes: Convert numeric bytes value from `stdin` to a human-readable string.
$ echo ${1337} | pretty-bytes
try on your machine

The command "echo ${1337} | pretty-bytes" is a Unix/Linux command that converts a number into a human-readable format using the pretty-bytes tool.

Here's how it works:

  1. The "echo" command is used to print the value of the variable "${1337}" to the console. The variable "${1337}" stores the number 1337.

  2. The "|" symbol is a pipe, which allows the output of one command (in this case, the "echo" command) to be passed as input to another command.

  3. The "pretty-bytes" command is a utility that takes a number as input and converts it into a human-readable format. For example, it can convert 1337 to "1.34 kB".

So, when you run the command "echo ${1337} | pretty-bytes", you will see the human-readable representation of the number 1337 printed to the console. The exact output depends on the implementation of the "pretty-bytes" tool.
