$ ${arguments_source} | xe -j ${max-jobs} ${command}

This command is made up of a few different parts:

${arguments_source}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with a source of arguments for the command. It could be a file, a variable, or any other source of input arguments.
|: This is the pipe symbol, which is used to redirect the output of one command as the input to another command. In this case, it takes the output of ${arguments_source} and passes it as input to the next part of the command.
xe -j: This is the command xe with the -j option. xe is likely a program or command, and -j is an option specific to that command. The purpose and functionality of xe and its options can only be determined from the context or documentation of the specific program.
${max-jobs}: This is another placeholder that should be replaced with a value representing the maximum number of jobs. It could be a number or a variable containing a number.
${command}: This is yet another placeholder that should be replaced with the specific command to be executed. It could be another program or a command supported by xe, depending on the context.

Overall, this command appears to be using a pipe to pass arguments from ${arguments_source} to the xe command, specifying the maximum number of jobs with ${max-jobs}, and executing a specific ${command}. The exact meaning and purpose of the command will depend on the specific values provided for the placeholders.
