updog: Start a HTTP server for a specified directory.

updog

$ updog --directory ${-path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "updog --directory ${-path-to-directory}" invokes the "updog" tool with the directory flag. It seems like there might be a typo in the command as the flag should be specified as "--dir" (short for directory) rather than "--directory".

The "${-path-to-directory}" is likely a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual path to a directory. For example, if you wanted to run the command on the "/home/user/documents" directory, you would rewrite the command as "updog --dir /home/user/documents".

The "updog" tool is often used to quickly start a local web server in a given directory. By providing the path to a directory, it will create a server for that directory, making its contents accessible through a localhost URL.

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.
