The command "aws secretsmanager describe-secret --secret-id ${name_or_arn}" is used to retrieve information about a secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

"aws secretsmanager": This is the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) command for interacting with AWS Secrets Manager. It allows you to manage secrets securely in the AWS cloud.
"describe-secret": This is the specific AWS Secrets Manager command to retrieve information about a secret.
"--secret-id": This is a flag used to specify the identifier or ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the secret for which you want to retrieve information. If you know the name or ARN of the secret, you need to replace "${name_or_arn}" in the command with the actual name or ARN of the secret.

By running this command, you will get detailed information about the specified secret, including its name, ARN, description, rotation configuration, last changed date, tags, and more. It can be useful for understanding the properties and current state of a secret stored in AWS Secrets Manager.
