The command "flash -v" is a command-line interface (CLI) command used to initiate a flash process with verbose output.

The "flash" command is typically used for updating or flashing the firmware or operating system image of a device, such as a computer, smartphone, or network device. It allows the device to receive and install the new software version, replacing the existing one.

The "-v" option in this command stands for "verbose". When enabled, it provides detailed output and progress information during the flash process. This can include information about each step being performed, successful completion of particular tasks, and any error messages that may occur.

The purpose of using the "-v" option is to have more visibility and understanding of what is happening during the flash process. It can help in troubleshooting issues, monitoring progress, and ensuring the process is executing as expected.
