The command "multipass info ${instance_name}" is used to get information about a specific instance created by Multipass, a lightweight virtualization tool. Here's what each part of the command does:

  • "multipass": It is the command-line tool used to manage and launch instances in Multipass.

  • "info": It is one of the subcommands of Multipass that provides detailed information about an instance.

  • "${instance_name}": It is a placeholder for the name of the instance you want to get information about. You need to replace it with the actual name of the instance.

When you execute the command, Multipass will retrieve information like the instance name, launch time, IP address, CPU and memory usage, disk space, and more for the specified instance.
