This command belongs to KeePassXC, a free and open-source password manager.

The "keepassxc-cli lookup" command is used to search for a specific entry in a KeePassXC database file using the command line interface.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "keepassxc-cli": This is the command to interact with KeePassXC using the command line interface.

  • "lookup": This is the specific action or subcommand of KeePassXC that allows you to search for an entry.

  • "${path-to-database_file}": This variable should be replaced with the actual file path to your KeePassXC database file. It specifies the location of the database file you want to search in.

  • "${name}": This variable should be replaced with the actual name or a part of the name of the entry you want to find. It is the search query you provide to find a specific entry within the KeePassXC database.

By executing this command in the terminal or command prompt, you will initiate a search for the specified entry name within the specified KeePassXC database file, providing you with the relevant results.
