ptx:tldr:ccabd

ptx: Generate a permuted index with a list of filtered words.
$ ptx --only-file=${path-to-filter} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command you provided uses the "ptx" tool and includes the following options:

--only-file=${path-to-filter}: This option specifies a path to a filter file to be used with the ptx tool. A filter file is a plain text file that contains a list of regular expressions used to filter the data that will be displayed. It allows you to selectively display specific data from the input file.

${path-to-filter} should be replaced with the actual path to the filter file.

${filename}: This specifies the name of the input file that the ptx tool will process. It should be replaced with the actual name of the file you want to process. This file contains the data that will be filtered and displayed using the filter file.

In summary, the command will use the ptx tool to process the specified input file and apply filters based on the regular expressions defined in the filter file to selectively display certain data.

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.
