with the actual name of the collection. -

--fields="${field1,field2,---}"
: Specifies the fields to be included in the exported data. You need to replace"${field1,field2,---}"
with the actual fields you want, separated by commas. -
--queryFile=${filename}
: Specifies a file that contains the query to filter the data. The${filename}
should be replaced with the actual name of the query file. -

In summary, this command exports data from a MongoDB collection named ${collection_name}

. The exported data will only include the fields specified in "${field1,field2,---}"
, and any filtering can be performed using the query stored in the ${filename}
query file.
