The provided command is an AWS CLI (Command Line Interface) command. Let's break it down:

aws s3api put-bucket-policy: This part of the command is invoking the AWS CLI tool and specifying the S3 API's put-bucket-policy command. It is used to set or update the access policy for an S3 bucket.

--bucket ${bucket_name}: This flag is used to specify the name of the S3 bucket for which you want to set the policy. The ${bucket_name} placeholder suggests that the actual name of the bucket should be provided as a variable when executing the command.

--policy file://${path-to-bucket_policy-json}: This flag is used to provide the JSON file containing the bucket policy. file://${path-to-bucket_policy-json} indicates that the policy file is located at the specified path. This JSON file should contain the access policy rules defining who can perform which actions on the S3 bucket.

In summary, this command is used to set or update the access policy for a specific S3 bucket named ${bucket_name} to the policy defined in the JSON file located at ${path-to-bucket_policy-json}.
