The command you provided is written in the command-line interface (CLI) syntax.

The command runs the "choco" command with the "apikey" argument. It is used to set an API key for Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows.

Here's a breakdown of the options and parameters being passed:

--source "${source_url}" : This specifies the source URL for the API key. The "${source_url}" is a placeholder for the actual source URL you want to use. It could be something like a private package repository or a custom Chocolatey feed.
--key "${api_key}" : This specifies the actual API key value. Similar to the previous option, the "${api_key}" is a placeholder for the actual key you want to set. This key is typically used for authentication when accessing the specified source URL.

Overall, this command is used to configure the API key and its associated source URL in Chocolatey, allowing you to access and manage packages from that specific source.
