kiwi-ng: Build an appliance.
$ kiwi-ng system build --description=${path-to-directory} --target-dir=${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command is used to build a Kiwi system with specific options. Here is the breakdown of each part:

  • kiwi-ng is the command-line tool for Kiwi, a system image builder for Linux distributions.
  • system build is the action being performed, indicating that a system image is being built.
  • --description=${path-to-directory} is an option that specifies the path to a directory containing the XML description files for the system image. The ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the actual directory path.
  • --target-dir=${path-to-directory} is an option that sets the target directory where the generated system image will be stored. The ${path-to-directory} should be replaced with the desired target directory path.

In summary, this command tells Kiwi to build a system image using the XML description files located in a specific directory, and store the resulting image in another specified directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
