twopi: Render a `png` image with a filename based on the input filename and output format (uppercase -O).
$ twopi -T ${png} -O ${path-to-input-gv}
try on your machine

This command is using the "twopi" tool from the Graphviz suite to convert a Graphviz file (with a .gv extension) into a PNG image.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "twopi": This is the command name for the twopi tool in Graphviz.
  • "-T ${png}": This flag specifies the output format for the conversion, in this case, "png". The ${png} is a placeholder for the actual value of the output format.
  • "-O ${path-to-input-gv}": This flag tells twopi to save the output in a file. The ${path-to-input-gv} is a placeholder for the actual path to the input Graphviz file.

So, when you run the command, twopi will read the input Graphviz file (specified by ${path-to-input-gv}), generate a corresponding PNG image, and save it in a file with the same name as the input file and the specified format (in this case, PNG).

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
