tput: Show number of columns, lines, or colors.
$ tput ${select}
try on your machine
The command "tput ${select}" is a way to dynamically use a terminal feature using the "tput" command and a variable called "select".
The "tput" command allows you to interact with various capabilities of a terminal. It provides a way to query or manipulate terminal features, such as changing colors, controlling cursor movement, setting terminal modes, etc.
In this case, "${select}" is a placeholder for a variable that holds the desired terminal feature or capability. The actual value of the "select" variable can be determined and assigned elsewhere in the script or command line.
So, when the command "tput ${select}" is run, it will execute the specific terminal feature or capability represented by the value held in the "select" variable.
