The command "lsb_release -rcs" is used to retrieve information about the operating system distribution and its release version.
Here's what each component of the command represents:
- "lsb_release" is a command that is typically found on Linux distributions. It is used to obtain LSB (Linux Standard Base) information about the operating system.
- "-rcs" are command-line options (or flags) that modify the behavior of the "lsb_release" command as follows:
- The "-r" option is used to display the release version of the operating system distribution.
- The "-c" option is used to display the codename of the operating system distribution.
- The "-s" option is used to display only the requested information without any additional text or formatting.
So, when you run the "lsb_release -rcs" command, the output will typically be two lines:
- The first line will show the release version of the operating system distribution.
- The second line will show the codename of the operating system distribution.
For example, the output might look like this: "20.04" "Focal Fossa"
In this example, "20.04" indicates the release version (in this case, Ubuntu version 20.04), and "Focal Fossa" is the codename associated with that particular release.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
