The provided command is executed in `cmd.exe` (Windows Command Prompt)....

The provided command is executed in cmd.exe (Windows Command Prompt). Let’s break it down into its components to understand what it does:

Command breakdown:

1. cmd.exe
   This starts the Windows Command Prompt.

2. /q
   Starts cmd.exe in quiet mode, suppressing the display of the command being executed.

3. /d
   This skips executing AutoRun commands (commands that would normally be executed when cmd.exe starts).

4. /s
   Modifies the handling of the string following /c, especially for quotes. This ensures proper command processing when quotes are involved.

5. /c
   This indicates that the following command string should be executed and cmd.exe should terminate afterward.

6. "yarn ^"global^" ^"dir^""
   This is the actual command being executed, where:

   • yarn is likely a reference to the Yarn package manager tool, used for managing JavaScript dependencies.
   • global is a flag or subcommand for Yarn to refer to the "global operations" scope.
   • dir is likely an argument to retrieve the global Yarn directory.

   The ^ escape character is used in the CMD shell to escape special characters like double quotes ("), so that they are treated as literals within the command string.

Net effect:

The command retrieves the global directory location for Yarn. Under normal circumstances, executing yarn global dir in the terminal provides the path to Yarn’s global directory. The cmd.exe command encapsulates this for execution in a safe manner while ensuring special characters are handled correctly.
