qtchooser: Run the specified tool using the specified Qt version.
$ qtchooser --run-tool=${tool} --qt=${version_name}
try on your machine

The command qtchooser --run-tool=${tool} --qt=${version_name} is used to run a specific tool associated with a particular version of the Qt development framework.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • qtchooser: This is the executable program called qtchooser.
  • --run-tool=${tool}: This option specifies the particular tool to be run. ${tool} is a variable that needs to be replaced with the desired tool name. For example, if you want to run the qmake tool, you would replace ${tool} with qmake.
  • --qt=${version_name}: This option specifies the version of the Qt framework to use. ${version_name} is a variable that needs to be replaced with the desired version name. For example, if you want to use Qt version 5.15, you would replace ${version_name} with 5.15.

When you execute this command with the appropriate values for ${tool} and ${version_name}, it will run the specified tool associated with the specified version of Qt. The qtchooser program helps manage multiple versions of Qt on a system, allowing you to easily switch between them.

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.
