What does this "`" character do in the command line? For example, I am
suppose to enter the following command from a terminal window when running
in a bash shell:

    # bfu `pwd`/archives/`uname -p`/nightly

It looks as if the "`" is suppose to evaluate to the output of a command or
variable. However, that doesn't quite make sense to me in this case.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.
