try on your machine
The command you provided is:
textutil -convert ${rtf} -font ${Times} -fontsize ${10} ${path-to-foo-txt}
This command is using the textutil
utility to convert a text file foo.txt
to an RTF (Rich Text Format) file with specific font and font size.
Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
textutil

: This option specifies the conversion format for the input file. In this case, thertf
variable is used, which should contain the desired output format.-font ${Times}
: This option sets the font of the output RTF file. TheTimes
variable is used here to specify the font name.-fontsize ${10}
: This option sets the font size of the output RTF file. The10
variable is used here to specify the font size.${path-to-foo-txt}
: This is the path to the input text file (foo.txt
). The command will convert this file to an RTF file with the specified font and font size.
Note: The ${}
syntax suggests that the values for rtf
, Times
, and 10
may be variables that should be replaced with their actual values when running the command.
