The command "youtube-viewer ${search_term}" is a command-line instruction used to execute the "youtube-viewer" program or script with a specific parameter called "search_term".

Here's how you can understand it in parts:

  • "youtube-viewer": This represents the name or path to the program or script that is being executed. In this case, it suggests that there is a program or script available called "youtube-viewer" specifically designed for interacting with YouTube services.

  • "${search_term}": This is a parameter or argument passed to the "youtube-viewer" program or script. The use of "${search_term}" implies that the actual value of the search term should be provided when executing the command. For example, if you want to search for videos related to cats, you would replace "${search_term}" with "cats" like this: "youtube-viewer cats".

Together, when you run the command "youtube-viewer ${search_term}", it launches the "youtube-viewer" program or script and performs a search on YouTube using the provided search term. The actual functionality and specific behavior of the "youtube-viewer" program or script may vary depending on its implementation or purpose.
