This command is used to send the output (or result) of a command to a designated Slack channel using "slackcat", a command-line tool for interacting with Slack. Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
${command}
: This refers to the command whose output you want to send to Slack. It could be a shell command, script, or any other command that produces output. -
|
: This is known as the pipe symbol in Linux/Unix systems. It is used to redirect the output of one command to another command as input. In this case, it directs the output of${command}
to the next part of the command. -
slackcat
is the command-line tool used to send messages/files to Slack. It needs to be installed on your system in order to use it. -
--channel ${channel_name}
: This flag specifies the Slack channel where you want to send the message.${channel_name}
should be replaced with the name or ID of the desired channel. -
--filename=${snippet_name}
: This flag specifies the name of the file or snippet that will be created in the Slack channel.${snippet_name}
should be replaced with the desired filename.
In summary, the output of ${command}
is passed as input to slackcat
, which then sends it to the specified Slack channel with the chosen filename.
