It means take the second field (
-f2) as separated by double quote marks (-d'"', which the shell parses to-d'before running cut) , and then the first field (-f1) of that as separated by colons (-d:).For instance,
Phil Miller"developer:juniorwill be processed todeveloper. This is a very contrived example, and it would be useful to see what is actually being used as input to that pipeline.
