The command "fprintd-delete ${username} --finger ${select}" is used to delete a fingerprint belonging to a specific user.
Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:
- "fprintd-delete": This is the command used to interact with the fingerprint authentication system.
- "${username}": This refers to the username of the user whose fingerprint is going to be deleted. The actual username should be provided in place of "${username}". For example, if the username is "john", it would be replaced as "fprintd-delete john".
- "--finger": This option is used to specify the finger whose fingerprint is being deleted. Here, "${select}" represents the finger that needs to be selected for deletion. The actual selection should be provided in place of "${select}". For example, if the thumb is selected, it would be replaced as "--finger thumb".
So ultimately, the command is used to delete a specific fingerprint associated with a given user.
