qrencode: Convert a string to a QR code and save to an output file.
$ qrencode -o ${path-to-output_file-png} ${string}
try on your machine

The command "qrencode" is used to generate a QR code from a given string. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "qrencode": This is the actual command being executed.
  • "-o ${path-to-output_file-png}": This part specifies the output file location and format. The "${path-to-output_file-png}" represents the path and filename where the generated QR code will be saved. The QR code is saved in the PNG format.
  • "${string}": This is the string that will be converted into a QR code. It can be any alphanumeric or special character sequence.

To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-output_file-png}" with the desired path and filename of the output file, and "${string}" with the actual string you want to convert into a QR code.

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.
