try on your machine
The command "mkfs.fat ${-dev-sdb1}" is used to create a FAT file system on the device /dev/sdb1.
Let's break down the command:
-
"mkfs.fat": This is the command to create a FAT file system. It is often used on Linux systems.
-
"${-dev-sdb1}": This is the parameter passed to the command. In this case, it specifies the device or partition on which the FAT file system should be created. /dev/sdb1 represents a specific partition on a storage device, which might be a USB drive, an external hard drive, or any other type of storage device.
By running this command, a FAT file system will be created on the specified device or partition, allowing it to be used for storing files and data compatible with the FAT file system.
