The command you provided can be broken down as follows:

"mu find" is the root command. It is likely a command used in the context of the mu email client or search tool.
"'mime:${image-*}" is a search filter criterion. It is looking for emails with attachments that have a MIME type starting with "image-". MIME types are used to identify the type of content in an email attachment, such as images, audio, or documents.
"size:${2k--2m}" is another filter criterion. It specifies the size range of the attachments. It is looking for emails with attachments between 2 kilobytes (2k) and 2 megabytes (2m) in size.
"date:${20210101--20211231}" is a date filter criterion. It specifies a date range from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021. It is looking for emails that were sent or received within this date range.
"from:${sam}" is a filter criterion for the sender's email address. It is looking for emails sent from the sender with the email address "sam".

Overall, this command is searching for emails that meet the specified criteria: have image attachments, fall within a certain size range, were sent or received within a specific date range, and were sent from a particular sender with the email address "sam".
