This command appears to be using the "sm" utility with a specific option and parameters as follows:

  • The "-b" option is used to set the background color of the output.
  • "${#008888}" is a hexadecimal color code (#008888) enclosed in curly brackets, indicating the desired background color in RGB format. In this case, it represents a shade of greenish-blue.
  • "${Hello World!}" is a text string enclosed in double quotes, which will be displayed on the screen.

The command is likely used to generate an output with the specified background color (#008888) and display the message "Hello World!" on the screen.
