The command mongoexport is a utility in MongoDB that allows you to export data from a MongoDB database. Let's break down the components of this specific command:

--uri=${mongodb_uri}: This option specifies the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for connecting to the MongoDB instance. The value ${mongodb_uri} is likely a placeholder for the actual URI, which should be provided when executing the command. The URI typically includes the hostname, port number, authentication credentials, and the name of the MongoDB database.
--collection=${collection_name}: This option specifies the name of the collection within the database from which you want to export the data. Similar to the previous option, ${collection_name} is likely a placeholder for the actual name of the collection, which you need to provide.
--pretty: This option makes the exported JSON data more readable by adding line breaks and indentation. It enhances the output format of the exported data for human readability.

Overall, this command is used to export data from a MongoDB database collection specified by ${collection_name}. The exported data is JSON-formatted and its readability is enhanced using the --pretty option. The MongoDB instance to connect to is specified by ${mongodb_uri}.
