minetestserver: Listen on a specific port.
$ minetestserver --port ${34567}
try on your machine

This command is likely used to start a Minetest server with a specific port number. Here is a breakdown of each element in the command:

  • minetestserver: This is the executable file that runs the Minetest server software. It is responsible for starting and managing the server.
  • --port: This is a command-line option used to specify the port number that the server should listen on. In this case, ${34567} suggests that the port number is dynamically passed as a variable. The actual value of the variable would be substituted at runtime, potentially with a different port number.

Therefore, when executed, this command would attempt to start a Minetest server and bind it to the provided port number.

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.
