vgrep: Open the "4th" match from the cache in the default editor.

The command "vgrep --show ${4}" is composed of the following elements:

  1. "vgrep": This is the name (or alias) of a command-line tool that is being invoked.

  2. "--show": This is a command-line option or flag provided to the "vgrep" command. The effect of this particular option is specific to the "vgrep" tool and may vary depending on its implementation. Without knowing the context or purpose of the "vgrep" tool, it is difficult to determine the exact function of this option. Typically, the "--show" flag might be used to specify how the search results or matches should be displayed or formatted.

  3. "${4}": This is a shell variable or parameter substitution. The value of this variable is being passed as an argument to the "vgrep" command. The "${4}" indicates that the value of the fourth argument passed to the script or command that executes this line will be substituted here.

In summary, the "vgrep --show ${4}" command likely invokes the "vgrep" tool with certain options (such as "--show") and makes use of the value of the fourth argument passed to the script or command it is part of. However, without further information about the purpose and implementation of "vgrep" or its surroundings, it is difficult to provide a more precise explanation of its functionality.
