systemd-run:tldr:7a79e
This command is using three commands together, connected by the pipe (|) operator, which allows the output of one command to be passed as input to the next command.
-
${command1}
: The first command is represented by${command1}
. It could be any valid command or script that produces output when executed. The exact command is not specified here. -
systemd-run --pipe ${command2}
: This is the second command in the pipeline. It uses thesystemd-run
command with the--pipe
option.systemd-run
is a command in the systemd system and service manager suite, used for running commands in transient or background processes. The--pipe
option tellssystemd-run
to create a pipe and connect the standard output of the command${command2}
to that pipe. -
${command3}
: This is the final command in the pipeline. Again, like${command1}
, it represents any valid command or script. The output from thesystemd-run
command (connected via the pipe) will be passed as input to this third command.
In summary, this command runs ${command1}
as the first step. The output from ${command1}
is then piped to systemd-run --pipe ${command2}
. The output from ${command2}
is then passed as input to ${command3}
.
