xxh:tldr:65d33

xxh: Use the specified configuration file on the host machine.
$ xxh "${host}" ++xxh-config ${~--config-xxh-config-xxhc}
try on your machine

This command seems to be using the xxh tool to establish a connection to a remote host. Let's break down its components:

  • xxh: This refers to the xxh tool, which is used for connecting to remote hosts securely.
  • "${host}": The variable ${host} likely holds the hostname or IP address of the remote host. It is enclosed in double quotes to preserve any whitespaces or special characters.
  • ++xxh-config: This flag is used to specify that a custom configuration file should be used for xxh.
  • ${~--config-xxh-config-xxhc}: This part seems to be a variable that determines the location of the custom configuration file. The specific meaning and purpose of this variable cannot be determined without additional context. It could be an environment variable or a command substitution.

Overall, this command appears to establish a connection to a remote host using xxh, while also specifying a custom configuration file to be used. The exact behavior and configuration details depend on the values assigned to the ${host} and ${~--config-xxh-config-xxhc} variables.
