qrencode: Convert a string to a QR code and print it in terminal.
$ qrencode -t ansiutf8 ${string}
try on your machine

The command "qrencode -t ansiutf8 ${string}" is used to generate a QR code for a given string using the "qrencode" tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "qrencode" is the name of the tool used for generating QR codes.
  • "-t ansiutf8" specifies the type of output to be generated. In this case, "ansiutf8" means the output will be in ANSI escape sequence format with UTF-8 encoding.
  • "${string}" is a placeholder that represents the string for which the QR code is generated. It should be replaced with the actual string you want to convert into a QR code.

By running this command with the desired string, you will get a QR code representation of that string in the ANSI escape sequence format with UTF-8 encoding. The output can be displayed in a terminal or saved to a file for further usage.
