The command docker-machine status ${name} is used to check the status of a Docker machine with a specific name.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• docker-machine: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool used to manage Docker machines. It allows you to create, manage, and control Dockerized hosts.
• status: This is a subcommand of docker-machine used to check the status of a Docker machine.
• ${name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the Docker machine you want to check the status of. You need to replace ${name} with the actual name of your Docker machine.

When you run the command with the specific name of your Docker machine, it will query the machine and return its current status. The possible statuses can include "Running", "Stopped", "Paused", "Error", or "Timeout", among others.

By using this command, you can quickly determine the state of a Docker machine and take appropriate actions, such as starting, stopping, or troubleshooting the machine based on its status.
