siege: Test a URL with default settings.

siege

$ siege ${https:--example-com}

try on your machine

This command is referring to the utility tool "siege" and passing it a parameter or argument, which is the URL "https://example.com".

The "siege" tool is a command-line HTTP load testing and benchmarking utility. It is often used to simulate multiple users accessing a website at the same time and measure the performance and scalability of the site under different conditions.

In this specific command, it seems to be targeting the URL "https://example.com" for testing. The ${https:--example-com} syntax might be specific to the command or system where it is being used. It could be interpreted as a way to pass a URL argument to the siege command, implying that the URL being targeted is "https://example.com".

However, it's important to note that the ${https:--example-com} syntax is not standard or universally recognized, so the interpretation may depend on the specific context or system in which it is being used.
