The docker inspect command is used to obtain low-level information about Docker objects like containers, images, volumes, networks, etc. The command returns a JSON representation of the inspected object, providing detailed information about its configuration, current state, and other metadata.

In the case of the given command, ${select} is a placeholder for a specific Docker object name or ID. The command will be executed with the specific Docker object selected through the placeholder. For example, if ${select} is replaced with the name or ID of a container, the command "docker inspect ${select}" will provide detailed information about that container. Depending on the object type, the output of the command may vary.

Here's an example of using the command to inspect a container:

docker inspect my-container

In this case, "my-container" is the placeholder value for ${select}, representing the name or ID of the container. The command will return a JSON representation of the detailed information about the container, including its configuration, networking, environment variables, and more.
