xrdb: Load values (e.g. style rules) from a resource file.
$ xrdb -load ${~--Xresources}
try on your machine
This command is used to load X resources from a file into the X server's resource database. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
xrdb
: It is the command-line utility used for managing the X server's resource database.-load
: This option specifies that the following argument is the file from which the resources will be loaded.${~--Xresources}
: This is a parameter expansion syntax used in some shells (such as zsh) to expand the value of theXresources
variable. The~
operator enables pathname expansion (also known as tilde expansion), and the--
is used to indicate the end of options, ensuring that subsequent arguments are treated as file names even if they start with a hyphen.
So, when the command is executed, it will load the resources from the file specified by the value of the Xresources
variable into the X server's resource database. The actual file name will depend on the value assigned to Xresources
.
