The command "docker stats ${container_name}" is used to display the live resource usage statistics of a specific Docker container.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "docker stats": This is the base command to view the statistics of Docker containers.
• "${container_name}": This is a placeholder for the actual name or ID of the container you want to monitor. You need to replace "${container_name}" with the specific name or ID of the container you want to check.

When you run this command, Docker will continuously display real-time information about the specified container. The statistics include:

• CPU Usage: The percentage of CPU resources being used by the container.
• Memory Usage: The amount of memory being used by the container.
• CPU Usage Percentage: The percentage of available CPU resources being utilized by the container.
• Memory Usage Percentage: The percentage of available memory being utilized by the container.
• Network I/O: The amount of data being sent and received over the network by the container.
• Block I/O: The amount of data being read from and written to block devices (such as hard disks) by the container.
• PIDs: The number of processes running inside the container.

This information is useful for monitoring the performance and resource consumption of a specific container, and it can help you identify any bottlenecks or issues that need attention.
