vlc: Play a file.
$ vlc ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "vlc ${filename}" is used to open a file named "filename" in VLC media player.
Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
-
"vlc" is the command to launch the VLC media player. VLC is a popular open-source multimedia player and streaming platform.
-
"${filename}" is a variable that represents the name of the file you want to open. The dollar sign "$" is used to access the value of the variable. In this case, the value should be the name of the file (with its appropriate file extension).
So when you run the command "vlc ${filename}", VLC media player will open and attempt to play the file specified by the value of the "filename" variable.
