xe: Execute the commands, replacing any occurrence of the placeholder (marked as `{}`) with the input line.
$ ${arguments_source} | xe ${command} {} ${optional_extra_arguments}
try on your machine
This command is a shell command with placeholders denoted by curly braces {}. The placeholders are meant to be replaced with actual values before executing the command.
Here is the breakdown of the command:
${arguments_source}
: This placeholder represents the source of the arguments that will be provided to the command.|
: This pipe symbol is used to redirect the output of the command on the left to the input of the command on the right.xe
: This is the name of the executable or command that will be executed.${command}
: This placeholder represents the specific command or action to be performed by thexe
executable.{}
: This placeholder represents the position where the actual arguments will be inserted. The arguments are sourced from${arguments_source}
.${optional_extra_arguments}
: This placeholder represents any additional arguments that may be required for the specified${command}
.
To execute this command, you need to replace the placeholders with appropriate values. For example, if ${arguments_source}
is replaced with input.txt
, ${command}
is replaced with count
, and ${optional_extra_arguments}
is replaced with -l
, the command will be something like:
input.txt | xe count {} -l
This will execute the xe
command, specifically the count
action, using the arguments sourced from input.txt
and any optional extra arguments specified by -l
.
