The command "mysqlbinlog" is used to read and display the contents of binary log files generated by MySQL.

In this specific command, the "--start-datetime" option is used to specify the starting point of the log data to be displayed. The value "${2022-01-01 01:00:00}" represents the datetime you want to start reading from, which in this case is January 1st, 2022, at 1:00:00 AM.

The "--stop-datetime" option is used to specify the ending point of the log data to be displayed. The value "${2022-02-01 01:00:00}" represents the datetime you want to stop reading at, which in this case is February 1st, 2022, at 1:00:00 AM.

The parameter "${path-to-binlog}" represents the path to the binary log file that you want to read and display.

So, in summary, this command will read and display the contents of the binary log file specified by "${path-to-binlog}", starting from January 1st, 2022, at 1:00:00 AM, and stopping at February 1st, 2022, at 1:00:00 AM.
