vlc: Play in fullscreen.
$ vlc --fullscreen ${filename}
try on your machine

The given command is for running VLC media player in fullscreen mode with a specific filename as the input file. Here's the breakdown:

  • vlc: It is the command to start the VLC media player.
  • --fullscreen: This option tells VLC to launch in fullscreen mode, which means the playback window will occupy the entire screen.
  • ${filename}: This is a placeholder for the actual filename of the media file you want to open with VLC. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual filename or path of the media file you want to play.

For example, if you have a video file called "my_video.mp4" in the current directory, you would run the command as follows:

vlc --fullscreen my_video.mp4

This will start VLC in fullscreen mode and open the specified video file for playback.
