is a subcommand ofcbt
, used specifically for counting the number of rows in a table."${table_name}"
is a placeholder for the actual name of the table. The command expects the name to be stored in a variable calledtable_name
. The"
surrounding the variable is used for ensuring that any special characters in the table name are treated literally.
