This command is used to mount a shared directory from a remote computer to a local directory.

Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

mount: This is the command that is used to mount file systems or directories in Unix-like operating systems.
\\: The double backslash symbol is used to connect to a remote computer. It is the standard symbol in the Windows operating system for accessing shared resources.
${computer_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the remote computer. Replace it with the actual name or IP address of the computer you want to connect to.
${share_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the shared directory on the remote computer. Replace it with the actual name of the directory you want to mount.
*: This specifies the local directory where the shared directory will be mounted. The asterisk (*) is often used as a wildcard to represent the current directory. Replace it with the path to the local directory where you want to mount the shared directory.

To summarize, this command is used to establish a connection to a shared directory on a remote computer (specified by ${computer_name} and ${share_name}) and mount it to a local directory (specified by *).
