The command you provided is used to create a torrent file using the "mktorrent" tool.

Here is the breakdown of the command and its arguments:

"mktorrent": This is the command itself, which is the name of the tool used to create torrent files.
"-c "${comment}"" : This option specifies the comment for the torrent file. The "${comment}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual comment you want to provide.
"-a ${tracker_announce_url}": This option specifies the tracker announce URL for the torrent. The "${tracker_announce_url}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual URL of the tracker server.
"-l ${21}": This option sets the piece length of the torrent file. The "${21}" is a placeholder representing the piece length in power-of-two bytes (e.g., 21 represents a piece length of 2^21 bytes).
"-o ${path-to-example-torrent}": This option specifies the output file path where the generated torrent file will be saved. The "${path-to-example-torrent}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired file path.
"${filename_or_directory}": This is the input argument that specifies the filename or directory you want to create a torrent for. The "${filename_or_directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual filename or directory path.

To use the command, make sure you replace the placeholder variables with the appropriate values for your specific use case.
