The command "dropbearkey -y -f ${path-to-key_file}" is used to generate a new Dropbear SSH key pair and save it to a specified file.
Here's what each option and argument mean in this command:
-
"dropbearkey": This is the command to generate the SSH key pair using Dropbear, a lightweight SSH server and client.
-
"-y": This option indicates that the generated key should be output in a format that can be easily copied and pasted.
-
"-f ${path-to-key_file}": This option specifies the file where the generated key pair should be saved. The "${path-to-key_file}" is a placeholder for the actual file path you need to provide. For example, if you want to save the key pair to a file called "mykey", you would replace "${path-to-key_file}" with "mykey".
