The "getmac" command is a command-line utility used in Windows operating systems to retrieve the Media Access Control (MAC) address of a network interface on a computer. The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to each network interface, allowing it to be recognized on a network.

When you execute the "getmac" command in the command prompt or PowerShell, it retrieves the MAC addresses of all the network interfaces on your computer and displays them along with the corresponding interface names. This can be useful for troubleshooting network issues, network configuration, or identifying devices on a network.
