streamlink: Attempt to extract streams from the URL specified, and if it's successful, print out a list of available streams to choose from.
$ streamlink ${example-com-stream}
try on your machine

The command "streamlink ${example-com-stream}" is using the "streamlink" program with a variable called "example-com-stream" as an argument.

Streamlink is a command-line utility that allows users to watch and record streams from various streaming platforms, such as YouTube, Twitch, etc. It is typically used to access video content from these platforms outside of a web browser.

In this case, "${example-com-stream}" is likely a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual stream URL or identifier of the specific stream you want to watch or record. For example, if you want to watch a stream from "example.com" platform, you would replace "${example-com-stream}" with the URL or identifier of that stream.

Make sure to substitute the placeholder with the correct stream information when using the command.
