pt: Find files containing "foo" and print the files with highlighted matches.

$ pt ${foo}

try on your machine

The command "pt ${foo}" is a shell command that is typically used in UNIX-based systems.

Here, "pt" is the command itself, and "${foo}" is a parameter or variable that is being passed to the command. The "$" indicates that it is a variable, and curly braces "{}" are used to enclose the variable name "foo".

The purpose of this command may vary depending on the context in which it is used, as it depends on the specific command "pt" and what it does. In general, it is used to substitute the value of the variable "foo" in the command.

For example, if the variable "foo" has been previously assigned a value of "bar", then the command "pt ${foo}" would be interpreted as "pt bar" before it is executed. This allows for dynamic usage of variables in a shell command.
