The command "vgrep --show=files" refers to using the vgrep tool with the "show" option set to "files". Here's how this command can be explained:

"vgrep": This is the name or alias of the tool or command being used. It may be an abbreviation for "verbose grep" or have another specific meaning depending on the context or the software installed on the system.
"--show=files": This is an argument or option provided to the vgrep command. By setting it to "files", it instructs vgrep to only display the names of the files that match the search criteria, rather than displaying the line(s) within those files where the matching text is found.

In summary, running the "vgrep --show=files" command will execute the vgrep tool, which will search for a specific pattern or text in files within a given directory (or multiple directories) and instead of displaying the content of matching lines, it will only provide a list of file names containing the matches.
