The command "sudo lvdisplay ${vg1}" is used to display the attributes and information of logical volumes within a specific volume group.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

sudo: This command prefix is used to execute a command as a superuser or with administrative privileges. It prompts the user to enter their password before executing the command.
lvdisplay: This is the actual command that displays the attributes and information about logical volumes. It shows details such as size, used space, path, LV name, VG name, and more.
${vg1}: This is a variable provided as an argument to the lvdisplay command. The variable vg1 represents the name of the Volume Group (VG) you want to display the logical volumes for. The ${} syntax is used to reference the value of the variable.

By combining these components, the command allows you to view the details of logical volumes within the specified volume group.
