distrobox-export: Export a binary from the container to the host.
$ distrobox-export --bin ${path-to-binary} --export-path ${path-to-binary_on_host}
try on your machine

The given command is distrobox-export --bin ${path-to-binary} --export-path ${path-to-binary_on_host}. Let's break it down:

  • distrobox-export: This is the name of the command or tool being executed. The exact purpose or functionality of this command is not readily apparent without further context.

  • --bin ${path-to-binary}: This is an option for the distrobox-export command followed by a value. The --bin flag specifies that the path to a binary file should be provided. ${path-to-binary} represents a placeholder for the actual path to the binary file on the local system.

  • --export-path ${path-to-binary_on_host}: This is another option for the distrobox-export command. The --export-path flag specifies the path on the host machine where the binary file should be exported. Similar to the previous option, ${path-to-binary_on_host} is a placeholder for the actual path on the host system.

In summary, the command is likely used to export a binary file from a certain location (${path-to-binary}) to a specified path on the host machine (${path-to-binary_on_host}). The actual functionality and purpose of the distrobox-export command would require more context or documentation from the relevant software or tool.
