vhs: Create a tape file (Add commands to the tap file using your editor).
$ vhs new ${filename-tape}
try on your machine

The command "vhs new ${filename-tape}" seems to be using a Unix shell variable substitution. Here's an explanation:

  • The string "${filename-tape}" is enclosed within curly braces "${}" indicating a variable substitution.
  • The variable "filename-tape" appears to be used as the value of the "filename-tape" variable.
  • The "vhs new" command is executed, likely a custom command, using the value of the "filename-tape" variable.

In practical terms, this command will create a new VHS tape, possibly using the file name provided as an argument or stored in the "filename-tape" variable. However, without more information, it is challenging to provide an accurate explanation.

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.
