This command is used to create a new group on a Unix-like operating system using the "groupadd" command with the sudo (superuser do) prefix.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "sudo": it allows a user with root or superuser privileges to execute the following command.
- "groupadd": it is the command used to add a new group to the system.
- "--gid ${id}": it specifies the group ID for the new group, where ${id} represents the actual numeric ID to be assigned to the group.
- "${group_name}": it specifies the name for the new group, where ${group_name} represents the actual name you want to give to the group.
In summary, the command creates a new group on the system with a specified group ID and name. The user executing the command needs to have sudo privileges to run it.
