wsl: Start a Linux shell (in the default distribution).

$ wsl ${shell_command}

try on your machine

The command "wsl ${shell_command}" is used to run a shell command in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) environment.

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

"wsl": This is the executable that launches the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It is used as a prefix to run commands within the WSL environment.
"${shell_command}": This is a placeholder for the actual shell command you want to execute in WSL. You would replace "${shell_command}" with the specific command you want to run.

For example, if you want to run the command "ls -l" in WSL, you would use: "wsl ls -l". This would execute the "ls -l" command in the WSL environment and display the list of files and directories in long format.

Note that the WSL environment needs to be installed on your Windows system for this command to work. Also, keep in mind that any commands you run within the WSL environment will have access to the Linux file system and tools, rather than the Windows system.

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.
