try on your machine

The command "protonvpn-cli ${subcommand} --help" is a way to access the help documentation for the ProtonVPN command-line interface (CLI).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "protonvpn-cli" is the primary command that launches the ProtonVPN CLI tool.
  • "${subcommand}" represents a specific action or subcommand provided by the ProtonVPN CLI tool. It could be something like "connect," "disconnect," "status," or any other available subcommand that the CLI supports.
  • "--help" is an option added to the command that instructs the CLI tool to display its corresponding help documentation. It provides information about the usage, available options, and examples for the chosen subcommand.

By running this command with a specific subcommand, followed by "--help," you can obtain vital information on how to use that particular subcommand effectively within the ProtonVPN CLI tool.
