cfdisk: Start the partition manipulator with a specific device.
$ cfdisk ${-dev-sdX}
try on your machine

The command "cfdisk ${-dev-sdX}" is not a valid command. It seems like a placeholder or a template that needs to be filled with specific values.

In general, the command "cfdisk" is used to interactively create, modify, and delete disk partitions on a storage device. It is a text-based user interface tool commonly used in Linux distributions.

The "${-dev-sdX}" part is not a correct variable or parameter syntax. In a proper command, you would replace "${-dev-sdX}" with the actual device name you want to work on. For example, if you want to use cfdisk on the "sda" device, the command would be "cfdisk /dev/sda".

Remember to exercise caution when using disk partitioning commands, as they can potentially affect the data on your storage device.

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.
