The given command is using the textql tool to perform SQL operations on a CSV file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

textql: It is the command used to execute the textql tool.
-sql "${SELECT * FROM filename}": This option specifies the SQL query to be executed. In this case, the query is "${SELECT * FROM filename}", which is selecting all the columns (*) from the given filename.
${filename-csv}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the CSV file you want to query. You need to replace ${filename-csv} with the actual filename, including the extension (.csv).

So, to use the command, you need to replace ${filename-csv} with the name of the CSV file you want to query. For example, if the CSV file is named data.csv, the modified command would be:

textql -sql "${SELECT * FROM filename}" data.csv

By running this command, the textql tool will execute the SQL query specified and perform the operation on the provided CSV file.
