wget: Continue an incomplete download.
$ wget --continue ${https:--example-com}
try on your machine

The command "wget --continue ${https:--example-com}" is used to download a file from a specified URL using the wget command-line utility.

The "--continue" option instructs wget to resume the download if it is interrupted or partially downloaded. If the file is fully downloaded, this option has no effect.

"${https:--example-com}" is the URL of the file you want to download. The part within the curly braces "${...}" is often used to specify variables or placeholders in shell scripting, but in this case, it appears to be a typo or an incorrect syntax. The correct usage should be something like "wget --continue https://example.com".

In the corrected version, "https://example.com" would be the URL of the file you want to download, such as a webpage or a file hosted on the website "example.com".

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.
