The command "gdalinfo" is used to extract information about a raster file in GDAL (Geospatial Data Abstraction Library) supported formats. It provides details about the dataset, such as the size, resolution, coordinate reference system (CRS), bands' information, and metadata.

In the given command, "${path-to-input-tif}" represents the path of the input TIF (Tagged Image File Format) file. You would replace "${path-to-input-tif}" with the actual file path of the TIF file you want to get information about.

When you run the command, GDAL will read the specified TIF file and display detailed information about it. It can include the pixel size, number of bands, data type of each band, any georeferencing information (if available), and other metadata associated with the file.
