The command zipnote -w ${filename-zip} < ${filename-txt} is used to modify the comments or notes of a zip file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

zipnote: A command-line utility used to manipulate the comments or notes of a zip file.
-w: This option tells zipnote to write the new comments to the zip file.
${filename-zip}: This is the variable representing the name of the zip file. It should be replaced with the actual filename and path of the zip file you want to modify.
<: This symbol is used for input redirection, indicating that the contents of the file specified next will be used as input for the zipnote command.
${filename-txt}: This is the variable representing the name of the txt file. It should be replaced with the actual filename and path of the text file containing the new comments or notes you want to add to the zip file.

To summarize, the command takes the contents of a text file (${filename-txt}) and passes it as input to the zipnote command, which then writes the new comments to the specified zip file (${filename-zip}).
