viu: Render an image or animated GIF.
$ viu ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "viu ${filename}" is used to open an image file in the terminal using the "viu" command-line image viewer.

Here's an explanation for each part of the command:

  • "viu": It is a command-line tool that allows you to view images directly in the terminal.
  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual image file name/path you want to open. For example, if you want to view an image named "image.jpg", you would replace "${filename}" with "image.jpg".

By running the command with the appropriate image file name, the "viu" tool will be launched, and the requested image file will be displayed within the terminal, allowing you to view it without opening a separate image viewer application.

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.
