rig: Use data files from a specific directory (default is `/usr/share/rig`).
$ rig -d ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command "rig -d ${path-to-directory}" is used to run the "rig" command with the "-d" option and specify a path to a directory as a variable.

Explanation:

  • "rig" is a command-line tool used for generating random passwords.
  • The "-d" option is used to specify a directory path. In this case, it's "${path-to-directory}", which indicates that the actual path to the directory should be provided as a variable.
  • By replacing "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path, you can execute the command by running "rig -d /path/to/directory".

Example: Let's say you want to generate a random password and save it in the directory "/home/user/passwords". The command will look like this:

rig -d /home/user/passwords

This will generate a random password and save it in the specified directory.

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.
