The command "isoinfo -d -i ${path-to-image-iso}" is used to retrieve information about an ISO image file.

Here is a breakdown of the components:

isoinfo: This is the command-line tool used for manipulating ISO 9660 filesystem images. It is typically available on Unix-like systems.
-d: This option stands for "directory," and it instructs the isoinfo tool to display information about the directory structure of the ISO image.
-i ${path-to-image-iso}: Here, -i is an option that specifies the input file for isoinfo. ${path-to-image-iso} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the ISO image file you want to examine. This argument tells isoinfo which ISO image file to operate on.

By running this command, you are requesting details about the directory structure of the specified ISO image file. This can include information such as the names and sizes of the files and directories contained within the ISO image.
