The given command uses a tool called grpcurl to interact with a gRPC server using a specific endpoint and service method. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  1. grpcurl: This is the name of the command-line tool being executed.

  2. ${grpc-server-com:443}: This is a parameter or placeholder representing the gRPC server's address. You need to replace ${grpc-server-com:443} with the actual address and port of the gRPC server you want to connect to. For example, it could be example.com:50051.

  3. ${my-custom-server-Service-Method}: This is another parameter or placeholder representing a specific service method on the gRPC server. You need to replace ${my-custom-server-Service-Method} with the actual name of the service method you want to call. For example, it could be MyService.MyMethod.

By running this command with the appropriate values for server address and service method, you can use grpcurl to connect to the gRPC server and invoke a particular service method.
