arp-scan: Scan an IP network with a custom net mask.
$ arp-scan ${10-0-0-0}:${255-255-255-0}
try on your machine

This command is using the "arp-scan" utility to perform an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) scan on a range of IP addresses.

The specific range of IP addresses being scanned is represented by the pattern "${10-0-0-0}:${255-255-255-0}".

In this pattern, the "10-0-0-0" represents the starting IP address of the range, and "255-255-255-0" represents the netmask or mask used to define the range. Each octet in the IP address and mask is separated by a hyphen.

The IP address range specified by this command is from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. This means that the command will scan all IP addresses within the specified range, excluding the network and broadcast addresses.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
