This command is a combination of multiple command-line tools, used to find files with specific extensions in a given directory and perform a specified command on them.
Here is a breakdown of what each part of the command does:
find: Thefindcommand is used to search for files and directories in a specific location.-E ${path}: This flag is used to specify the path or directory where the search should be performed (${path}is a placeholder for the actual path).-iregex ".*\.(${extensions})": This flag is used to filter the search results based on a regular expression. It searches for files that match any of the given extensions (${extensions}is a placeholder for the extensions separated by|, e.g.,jpg|png|gif).-print: This flag is used to print the path of each file that matches the search criteria.|: The pipe symbol is used to redirect the output from thefindcommand and pass it as input to the next command.xargs: Thexargscommand is used to construct and execute command lines from standard input.-n1 -I _item: These flags specify thatxargsshould execute the command specified (${command}is a placeholder for the actual command) once for each input item, taking one at a time, and replacing the placeholder_itemwith the input item.${command} _item: This is the command that will be executed for each file found._itemis a placeholder for the filename.
In summary, this command locates files with specific extensions in a given directory, prints their paths, and then executes a specified command (replacing _item with each file's path) on each file found.
