ip-route-show: Display the main routing table (same as first example).

$ ip route show ${select}

try on your machine

The command "ip route show ${select}" is used to display the current IP routing table on a Linux system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"ip" is a Linux command-line utility used for managing network interfaces and routing tables.
"route" is a subcommand of "ip" that allows you to manipulate the IP routing table.
"show" is an option for the "ip route" command that displays the content of the routing table.
"${select}" is a placeholder that represents the selection criteria or filters that you can apply to the routing table. Depending on the specific system configuration, this could be used to display only specific routes that match certain criteria, such as a particular network or interface.

By running this command, you will see a list of the routes in the routing table, including the destination networks, gateway addresses, interface names, and any additional attributes associated with each route. The "${select}" part allows you to narrow down the results based on your filtering criteria.
