wsl: Run a Linux command without using a shell.
$ wsl --exec ${command} ${command_arguments}
try on your machine

The command "wsl --exec ${command} ${command_arguments}" is used to execute a Linux command directly from the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) command line. Here's a breakdown of the command and its components: - "wsl": It is the command to run the Windows Subsystem for Linux.

  • "--exec": This flag instructs WSL to execute a command.
  • "${command}": It represents the Linux command you want to execute. Replace "${command}" with the actual command, like "ls", "mkdir", or any other valid Linux command.
  • "${command_arguments}": It represents the arguments or parameters that you want to pass to the Linux command. Replace "${command_arguments}" with the desired arguments required by the specific command you are running. For example, if you want to run the "ls" command to list files and directories in the current directory, you would use the following command: wsl --exec ls If you want to create a new directory called "test" using the "mkdir" command, you would use: wsl --exec mkdir test You can customize the command and the command arguments based on your specific requirements.
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.
