$ dog ${example-com}

try on your machine

The command "dog ${example-com}" appears to be a command-line command that uses the "dog" command and a variable called "${example-com}".

In general, the "dog" command is not a standard command in most operating systems, so its functionality and purpose may vary depending on the specific system or installed software. However, if we assume "dog" is a placeholder for a valid command, here is a possible explanation:

The "${example-com}" here likely represents a variable that is being expanded or substituted with a specific value when executing the command. Variables in command-line environments are often denoted by a "$" symbol followed by the variable name.
The value of the "${example-com}" variable might be a domain name or URL. The "-com" part suggests it could represent a top-level domain (TLD).

So, when you run the command, the value of the "${example-com}" variable would be substituted in place of "${example-com}". For example, if the value of "${example-com}" is "example.com", the command executed would be "dog example.com".

Without more context or information about the specific command or your system, it's difficult to provide a more detailed explanation.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
