minetestserver: Migrate to a different data backend.
$ minetestserver --migrate ${select}
try on your machine

The command "minetestserver --migrate ${select}" is related to the Minetest game server.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "minetestserver": Refers to the executable file or command used to start the Minetest game server.
  • "--migrate": It is an option or flag provided to the minetestserver command. This flag triggers the migration process, which may involve updating or modifying existing data or files to work with a newer version of the game or server.
  • "${select}": This is a placeholder in the command line, and its value is expected to be substituted with a specific argument or value that determines which migration process to execute. It could be a number, name, or any other identifier related to a specific migration task or version.

In summary, this command is used to start the Minetest game server and trigger a migration process with a specific parameter (provided by the "${select}" placeholder) to update or modify existing data or files to keep them compatible with a newer version of the game or server.
