ip-route-show: Display the local routing table.

$ ip route show table ${select}

try on your machine

The command "ip route show table ${select}" is used to display the routing table for a specific network or routing table.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"ip route": This is the command used for managing IP routing in Linux-based operating systems. It allows you to view and modify the routing table.
"show": This option is used to display the routing table.
"table ${select}": The "table" option is used to specify a specific routing table you want to view. The "${select}" part is a placeholder that indicates you need to replace it with the actual name or ID of the routing table you want to display.

For example, if you want to see the routing table for the main routing table, you would replace "${select}" with "main" like this: "ip route show table main".

Each routing table represents a different network or set of network routes. By specifying a table, you can view and analyze the routes associated with a particular network or routing policy.
