local: Declare a string variable with the specified value.
$ local ${variable}="${value}"
try on your machine
This command is used to create and assign a value to a local variable in a shell script.
Here's an explanation of each component:
local: It is a keyword used in some scripting languages (like Bash), which indicates that the variable is local to the current scope. This means that the variable is only accessible within the current block of code or function.${variable}: It represents the name of the variable enclosed within curly braces. This allows using the value of a variable that is already defined.="${value}": The equal sign (=) is used to assign a value to the variable. The value is enclosed within double quotes (") to denote a string value. The actual value can be anything like a string, number, or another variable.
By using this command, you can create and initialize a local variable with a specific value in your script.
