sxiv: Open a space-separated list of images in thumbnail mode.
$ sxiv -t ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "sxiv -t ${filename}" is used to open an image file with the sxiv image viewer in thumbnail mode. Here's how it breaks down:

  • "sxiv" is the command to launch the sxiv image viewer.
  • "-t" is an option or flag for sxiv, which stands for "thumbnail mode". It opens the image file with a thumbnail view rather than displaying a single image.
  • "${filename}" is a placeholder for the actual filename of the image that you want to open. To use this command, you would need to replace "${filename}" with the specific name of the image file you wish to view.

Overall, this command will open the specified image file in thumbnail mode using the sxiv image viewer.
