pw-play: Play a wav sound file over the default target.
$ pw-play ${filename-wav}
try on your machine
The command pw-play ${filename-wav}
is likely a Unix/Linux command that employs variable substitution. Here is a breakdown of its components:
pw-play
: This is the name or path of an executable binary or script. It is the actual command being invoked.${filename-wav}
: This is a variable placeholder that will be substituted with the actual filename of a WAV file when the command is executed. The format${variable}
is used for variable substitution in Unix/Linux shells, wherevariable
is the name of the variable.
When the command is executed, the ${filename-wav}
placeholder will be replaced with the actual filename of a WAV file, and the resulting command will be run. For example, if the variable filename-wav
has the value audio.wav
, the command will become pw-play audio.wav
. The purpose of this command would depend on the functionality of pw-play
, which is not clear from the given information.
