rr: Record an application.
$ rr record ${path-to-binary --arg1 --arg2}
try on your machine

This command is a shorthand way of invoking a binary (executable) file while simultaneously recording its execution using "rr", which is a tool for debugging and recording program executions.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rr": It refers to the name of the tool being used, which is "rr". "rr" stands for "record and replay" and is designed to help with analyzing and debugging the execution of programs.
  • "record": It is an argument or option provided to "rr" indicating that the execution of the specified binary file should be recorded.
  • "${path-to-binary --arg1 --arg2}": It represents the path to the binary file along with any additional command-line arguments (like "--arg1" and "--arg2") that need to be passed to the binary when it is executed.

To use this command, you would need to replace "${path-to-binary --arg1 --arg2}" with the actual path to the binary file you want to execute and any desired command-line arguments specific to that binary.

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.
