The command "module avail ${module_name}" is used to show a list of available modules in a given system, where ${module_name} is a placeholder for the name or part of the name of the specific module you are looking for.

When you execute this command, it will display information about all the available modules that match the provided criteria. This information typically includes the module name, version, category, and a brief description of each module.

Modules are software packages or libraries that can be loaded and unloaded in a system environment. They allow users to easily switch between different versions of software, manage dependencies, and access various tools or libraries required for specific tasks. The "module avail" command helps users identify which modules are installed and ready for use in the current system.
