mongodump: Connect to a given host running on a given port, and create a dump.

$ mongodump --host ${host} --port ${port}

try on your machine

The command "mongodump --host ${host} --port ${port}" is used to export the data from a MongoDB database.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"mongodump": This is the command itself, used to create a binary export of the data in a MongoDB database.
"--host ${host}": This flag specifies the hostname or IP address of the MongoDB server. The "${host}" is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the actual hostname or IP address.
"--port ${port}": This flag specifies the port number on which the MongoDB server is running. The "${port}" is a placeholder variable that needs to be replaced with the actual port number.

Overall, this command is used to connect to a MongoDB server specified by the hostname and port provided, and then export the data from that server into a binary dump file.
