This command is using the "convert" command-line tool to resize an image in the PNG format.

  • "${image-png}" is a placeholder for the input image file name with the PNG extension.
  • "-resize 640x480" is an argument to specify the desired dimensions of the output image. In this case, it will resize the image to have a width of 640 pixels and a height of 480 pixels.
  • "${image2-png}" is a placeholder for the output image file name with the PNG extension.

When this command is executed, it will read the input image file, resize it to the specified dimensions, and save the resized image with the given output file name.
