k8sec: Dump secrets to a file.
$ k8sec dump -f ${filename} ${secret_name}
try on your machine

This command is used to dump the contents of a Kubernetes secret into a file specified by ${filename}.

The k8sec command is a custom command or an alias defined by the user, which is not a standard Kubernetes CLI command. It is likely a shorthand or abbreviation for another command used to interact with Kubernetes secrets.

The -f flag specifies the file path where the secret contents will be dumped. ${filename} is a placeholder for the actual file name provided by the user.

${secret_name} represents the name of the Kubernetes secret that will be dumped. It is another placeholder for the actual name of the secret provided by the user.

So, when executing this command with the actual file name and secret name, it will retrieve the contents of the specified Kubernetes secret and store them in the file specified by ${filename}.
