#!/usr/bin/env -S bash -x

good evening,

i have a question ... in that title is a command with env and bash ...

what does "-S" mean?

in man stays, that S is for separate ...

in my book it is not explained good ... does -S activate, that "-x" is a flag for env or "-x" is a flag for bash or "-x" is not a part of the name, that "bash -x" is not name of shell and "bash" without "-x" is name of shell?

what case above does -S mean?

it is not well explained in my book. can you answer to my questions please?
